[Speaker] Mr. Manabu Kamitani, Manager, Performance Unit, Arthur D. Little Japan K.K. [Key Lecture Content] In recent years, both quantum technology and AI have seen technological development and investment at the national level, not just by companies, in various countries. While private enterprises are advancing the verification of the potential and promise of both quantum and AI technologies, the societal penetration of these technologies differs due to the uncertainty of their evolution. This has led to a demand for advanced technological intelligence capabilities that balance the maturity of the technology with expectations for its application in business development and internal implementation based on cutting-edge technologies. This lecture will multifacetedly examine the key points of how to utilize developing advanced technologies, taking into account the current understanding and future direction of quantum technology and AI. [Lecture Items] 1. Current status of the utilization of quantum technology and AI 2. Future development directions of quantum technology and AI and challenges toward realization 3. Considerations for business development and planning for advanced technologies based on the current status and challenges 4. Summary of today's discussion 5. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Speaker] Tetsuji Narita, President of NRT Energy Bridge Co., Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] Due to the rapid expansion of AI data centers, the power system is transitioning from "ensuring quantity" to "simultaneous design of reliability, environmental value, and construction period." While the government is taking steps to ensure system capacity in collaboration with watt-bit and in GX strategy regions, on-site, different entities such as DC operators, retailers, power generation and storage, local governments, and transmission companies tend to operate in different languages. This lecture will organize the current state of the system from PPA to practical design of power source portfolios, providing a checklist for each stakeholder and a common language to "operate on the same schedule." [Lecture Items] 1. Overall Overview: Structural organization of how AI DC has become a "design variable" in the power system 2. Current state of watt-bit collaboration and connection discipline 3. GX strategy regions (DC aggregation type): Issues in industrial cluster design 4. Practical design of PPA and power source portfolio 5. Preparation for environmental value and 24/7 CFE 6. Summary: Stakeholder-specific checklist and common schedule 7. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Speaker] Kazuhiro Kaiho, Manager, Environmental, Energy, and Resource Strategy Group, Research and Consulting Division, Japan Research Institute, Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] Decarbonization of automobiles is entering a phase where EVs, hydrogen, and RNG are utilized according to the industrial structure of countries and regions, energy resources such as renewable energy and biomass, and infrastructure constraints, rather than being solely focused on EVs. This presentation will compare the U.S. tax credits, LCFS, and RFS; China's NEV promotion policies and hydrogen demonstrations; and Europe's RED III and AFIR, organizing which fuels each region is aiming to expand for which applications. It will highlight different winning strategies for passenger and commercial vehicles and provide insights for Japanese companies. [Lecture Items] 1. Why is it important to view "automotive fuel policy" through regional comparisons now? 2. United States: Expanding RNG, hydrogen, and low-carbon fuels through market incentives. 3. China: A dual-front strategy focusing on EVs while nurturing hydrogen for commercial vehicles. 4. Europe: Advancing EVs, hydrogen, and renewable gas through regulatory leadership. 5. Insights for Japanese companies: What should Japan learn and how should it proceed? 6. Q&A / Business card exchange.
