[Seminar] Next-Generation Fuel-Related Policies and the Direction of Gasoline Vehicles

We will be exhibiting at the "Food Industry Creation Exhibition '25" scheduled to be held from May 14 (Wednesday) to May 16 (Friday) at Marine Messe Fukuoka. We will showcase measuring instruments ideal for food quality and hygiene management, such as fryer oil deterioration testers and food thermometers. Our instruments can connect to the mobile app testo Smart, allowing you to save measurement values in the app and document them in PDF format, supporting the efficiency of daily fryer oil and temperature management tasks!

The Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Manufacturing Exhibition is the largest international exhibition in Japan for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturing sector, featuring 900 companies from both domestic and international markets and attracting 34,000 attendees. A wide range of products and services supporting the pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturing processes will be showcased, including manufacturing and packaging, plant engineering, CMO/CDMO, measurement and inspection, sterilization and cleaning, logistics and distribution. We will be waiting for you with a wide selection of environmental monitoring systems, including testo Saveris 1 and data loggers.

In the field of powder technology that supports cutting-edge technology, it is essential to efficiently stir and degas slurry materials that exhibit complex flow behavior and dispersion characteristics, as well as to understand their flow and dispersion properties in the original liquid state. This seminar aims to teach the latest technologies of the "Awatori Nentaro," a mixer renowned for stirring and degassing high-concentration and high-viscosity materials, and the "MCR Rheometer," which allows for the evaluation of complex flow and dispersion characteristics of slurry materials without dilution, while also providing hands-on experience with the actual equipment. Additionally, we will hold a consultation session regarding any troubles or evaluation methods you may currently be facing. We look forward to your participation. Target Audience: Customers currently using Anton Paar Japan and Shinki products, as well as those considering their introduction. Customers interested in stirring, degassing, and rheological measurement.

[Speaker] Ryōhei Nomoto, Director, GLOBIS Capital Partners, Inc. [Key Lecture Content] This lecture will dismantle the myth that new businesses and innovations are "creations from scratch" and will elucidate the mechanisms of "value transfer," which is a source of immense wealth. The essence of excellent business lies in mediating resources that are undervalued in one place to another place where they are highly valued, thereby generating profit. Through practical frameworks such as "separation of ecosystems," "redefinition of resources," and "building checkpoints," this presentation will comprehensively analyze everything from large global corporations to domestic startups, offering key insights on how to build "strong" businesses in the AI era and beyond. [Lecture Items] 1. The trap of "zero-one faith" and the assumptions of business "common sense" 2. The mechanisms and theoretical background of "value transfer" 3. The "three pillars" that establish "value transfer" 4. Three tools for building "checkpoints" 5. Dissection of modern business (case studies) 6. The "side effects" of value transfer and future frontiers 7. Q&A / Business card exchange
