[Speaker] Fujikei Co., Ltd. Mobility Solutions Division Chief Harunobu Okubo [Key Lecture Content] The thermal management system for EVs is being integrated with the aim of reducing weight, saving space, and cutting costs and labor. Due to fluctuations in EV demand, the market is undergoing significant transformation, requiring suppliers to offer a diverse range of products and make stringent investment decisions. Additionally, with the increase in heat generation from core components, heat dissipation materials are polarizing into high heat dissipation, high value-added products and low-cost, mass-consumption products. This seminar will introduce trends in the chaotic recent EV thermal management market from both the overall structure and key component perspectives. [Lecture Items] 1. Background and overall structure of the thermal management market 2. Market trends of core components (cooling and heating materials) 3. Market trends of heat dissipation materials 4. Market trends of battery fire-resistant insulation materials 5. Outlook and fluctuating factors of the thermal management market 6. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Speaker] Yuko Okada, President and CEO, M's Communicate Inc. [Key Lecture Content] In recent years, the renewal of point services has accelerated across various industries.

Current Status and Strategic Choices of Common Points and Proprietary Points 4. Case Studies of Evolution in Point Services by Industry 5. The Era Where UI/UX Determines the Value of Points 6. Expansion into BtoB and BtoE and Applications for Organizational Activation 7. New Possibilities Unlocked by Future Point Services 8. Q&A / Business Card Exchange

[Speaker] Yuka Sawai, Team Leader of Biodiversity, Sustainability Consulting Office, Dentsu Inc. [Key Lecture Content] In this lecture, we will introduce the current state of biodiversity in Japan while unraveling the changing values of "coexistence with nature" that are emerging among future consumers. Through quantitative and qualitative research targeting university students, we will reveal signs that the values sought in coexistence are shifting towards "multi-well-being." We will organize the potential that nature holds for consumers and explain how a company's attitude towards "coexistence with nature" can influence its evaluation, especially now that sustainability has become the norm. Additionally, we will present five perspectives for translating the value of coexistence into a company's strengths.

Silver Son Nippon Co., Ltd. will be exhibiting at FOOMA JAPAN 2026, one of the largest food manufacturing exhibitions in the world, held in June! This year's theme for FOOMA is 'The Shift is On.' We will face the turning point in the food manufacturing industry and discover and create new value as a 'starting point for change.' We will showcase our Flash Mix, which demonstrates powerful performance even with difficult-to-handle powders, and batch mixers that are widely adopted by major food manufacturing companies. We invite you to see the actual products and experience the power of our high-shear mixers.
