We are pleased to announce that we will be exhibiting at the exhibition "TOYO One-Man Show 2026" hosted by Toyo, as detailed below. We regularly share information on our website and various social media platforms, but this will be a great opportunity for you to see the actual measuring instruments. We sincerely invite you to attend. Date: January 28 (Wed) and 29 (Thu), 2026, from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM Venue: Kariya City Industrial Promotion Center (1-1-6 Aioi-cho, Kariya City, Aichi Prefecture, a 5-minute walk from JR Kariya Station) Exhibiting manufacturers: Approximately 75 companies Registration URL: https://www.tenjikai-uketsuke.com/form/toyo-show2026/visitor *Please note that pre-registration is required, so we kindly ask you to register in advance via the web.

Do you want to use SOLIDWORKS more conveniently but think, "API seems difficult..."? How about trying to create a macro together? The theme is "Automating just one process." This time, we will create a system that automates the simple task of "saving," which you do manually every time in SOLIDWORKS, so that it can be completed with one click. Even if you have never written code before, that's okay. By simply "tracing and creating together" the necessary parts, you will be able to experience the excitement of actual automation in action. Through this webinar, I hope you will realize, "Oh, I can start with something this small in API." ■ Recommended for: - Those who do not fully understand how to utilize SOLIDWORKS API - Those who are not familiar with macros - Those who want to automate their design processes - Those who want to reduce human errors, even just a little.

[Speaker] Associate Professor Naoshi Matsuhisa, Center for Advanced Science and Technology, The University of Tokyo [Key Lecture Content] Various soft and stretchable electronic materials that break the common belief that rubber does not conduct electricity are being developed. Electronics made with these materials are expected to be utilized as next-generation wearable devices that are soft like skin, provide excellent wearing comfort, and enable long-term health monitoring. This lecture will introduce the forefront of soft and stretchable electronic material development, as well as the creation of entirely new healthcare human-computer interfaces that integrate with the skin. [Lecture Items] 1. Soft and stretchable electronics 2. Ultra-flexible electronics that accompany people 3. The forefront of diverse stretchable electronic material development 4. Sensors and displays that integrate with the skin 5. Ultra-flexible semiconductor devices using stretchable semiconductor materials 6. Next-generation wearable devices that integrate with the skin 7. Summary 8. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Lecturer] Yoshiaki Otsuki, Special Counsel, Anderson Mori & Tomotsune Law Office, Foreign Law Joint Enterprise [Key Lecture Content] Rare earth elements are metallic minerals commonly used in electric vehicles (EVs) and smartphones, but it is said that a large portion of their production relies on China. However, in light of the recent intensification of U.S.-China tensions and other international circumstances, concerns have arisen regarding the security of rare earth supply. In this context, the development of rare earth projects within Japan's territorial waters or exclusive economic zone (EEZ) has suddenly come into the spotlight. This lecture will focus on the legal aspects of rare earth development projects within Japan's territory, particularly addressing the application issues of the Mining Act, which was amended in 2022. [Lecture Topics] Chapter 1: Introduction - International Situation Surrounding Rare Earths Chapter 2: Application of the Mining Act Regarding Rare Earth Development in Japan's Territory Chapter 3: Future Outlook Q&A / Business Card Exchange

[Speaker] Mr. Daiki Kaneda, President and CEO of AXIA Marketing Co., Ltd. Mr. Atsushi Nagata, Director [Key Lecture Content] With the rise of manufacturers from emerging countries, the modern era is reaching its limits in competition based solely on specifications and price. The key for Japanese manufacturing industries, such as automotive parts, industrial machinery, semiconductors, chemicals, and steel, to regain growth in the global market lies in a "deep understanding of local technology trends and regulations" and a strategy that "avoids falling too deeply into price competition and transforms into added value." In this lecture, we will explain, using specific examples, how to avoid and leverage the latest local needs and pressures of technology transfer, and how to earn trust. [Lecture Topics] 1. The harsh reality of the global market and the redefinition of "reasons to be chosen." 2. Development strategies to break through the pressures of technology transfer and institutional barriers. 3. Game-changing material selection: the forefront of decarbonization and ESG compliance. 4. Learning from successful cases: a roadmap for market development and a "key" to execution. 5. Q&A session.
