[Seminar] The Latest Trends in Land-Based Aquaculture Business and the Reality of Commercialization

[Speaker] Shogo Yakame, Expert Consultant, Urban Innovation Consulting Department, Nomura Research Institute, Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] In recent years, the space business has garnered significant attention both domestically and internationally. In particular, a new large fund, the "Space Strategy Fund," has been launched in Japan, and the space industry has been selected as one of the 17 key investment areas highlighted by the new administration under Prime Minister Takaichi. In light of these developments, the movement for new entrants into the space business is accelerating; however, voices expressing difficulties in launching and promoting new businesses due to the complexity of the industry structure, high entry barriers, and the current immaturity of the market are not uncommon. This lecture will specifically address the mindset when entering the space business from other industries, as well as the challenges that are likely to be encountered, explaining how to perceive and engage with the space business. [Lecture Items] 1. Overview of recent space business 2. Case studies of new entrants from other industries 3. Understanding the space business as a new venture 4. Challenges and points to consider in business planning and promotion 5. Summary 6. Q&A and exchange of opinions with participants / Business card exchange

[Speaker] Director Yuya Sato, Innovation Management Co., Ltd. [Purpose] Even in today's highly uncertain environment, the fact remains that research and development investments aimed at the future continue to be a source of competitive advantage for companies. By envisioning a desired future based on future hypotheses, we can translate that vision into actionable plans and adapt them flexibly to changes in the environment. To make effective research and development investments, it is necessary to execute this entire series of processes at a high level, and the roadmap is positioned as a management tool that supports this. In this seminar, based on approximately 15 years of consulting experience in formulating and executing technology strategies in the manufacturing industry, including the automotive sector, we will introduce specific methods and case studies on the development and effective use of technology roadmaps. The case studies will also explain the examination processes using generative AI, which has been increasingly utilized in recent years. Additionally, we will discuss the challenges many companies face in implementing and operating roadmaps, as well as solutions to those challenges.

Henkel Japan Co., Ltd.'s General Manufacturing & Maintenance Division will exhibit at the 25th SMART ENERGY WEEK [Spring] held at Tokyo Big Sight from March 17 (Tuesday) to March 19 (Thursday), 2026, within the "H2 & FC EXPO [Spring] - 25th [International] Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Exhibition." We will introduce innovative adhesive and sealant solutions compatible with hydrogen from Loctite and conduct application demonstrations. <Exhibited Products and Technologies> ■ [Hydrogen Compatible] Sealants for Hydrogen-Compatible Metal Piping: LOCTITE 567, LOCTITE 577, LOCTITE 638 ■ [Hydrogen Compatible] Flange Sealants: LOCTITE 510, LOCTITE 518, LOCTITE 574 ■ Adhesives for Preventing Screw Loosening: LOCTITE 243, etc. <Exhibitor Presentation> March 17, 2026 (Tuesday) 14:30 - 15:00 "Supporting a Hydrogen Society with 'Invisible Technology' - The Future of Hydrogen-Compatible Sealants and Adhesives" @ West 2-B (Hydrogen Energy Utilization Seminar Venue) <Henkel Japan Booth Number> W16-20 (West Hall 2) *There will be presentations within the booth and visitor benefits.

To effectively promote the use of AI in businesses, establishing a reliable data integration platform is essential. In this seminar, we will outline the strengths of Databricks, which is gaining attention as a data lakehouse platform, and explain the optimal division of roles in data integration using ASTERIA Warp. Furthermore, through a demonstration of data integration from core systems (DB) to Databricks, participants will be able to concretely experience the actual operational image. Through this seminar, we hope you will not only understand the importance of "utilizing data" but also "connecting data," and take home tips for building an optimal data integration platform. <Recommended for> ✔ Those in the information systems department considering the construction of a data utilization platform ✔ Management planning and data strategy personnel responsible for promoting DX ✔ Those considering the introduction of Databricks or those who have already implemented ASTERIA Warp and want to strengthen their analytical platform ✔ Those who want to streamline data integration and analysis in a seamless manner

This exhibition will introduce the latest solutions for time-resolved measurement, ultrashort pulse lasers, and spectroscopic analysis. We look forward to welcoming everyone involved in research and development and advanced measurement. ■ Event Overview Date: March 15 (Sunday) to March 18 (Wednesday), 2026 Venue: Tokyo University of Science, Ookayama Campus ■ Main Exhibits Planned Time-resolved PL microscope (PicoQuant) Picosecond pulse laser (PicoQuant) TCSPC (Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting) and time-tagging device (PicoQuant) Pump-probe / dual-comb laser for time-resolved measurement (K2Photonics) Fourier transform spectrometer (NIREOS) Our specialized staff will provide guidance on the latest optical measurement and laser technologies.
