[Instructor] Toshiya Araki, Copywriter, Dentsu Inc. [Key Lecture Content] Many business professionals struggle with thoughts like "I can't express myself well in meetings" or "Do others think my opinions are shallow?" However, words that move people do not require complicated expressions or special talent. What is important is not "saying it well," but rather "finding the good points" beforehand. In fact, the true job of a copywriter is not to create clever expressions, but to believe that "there is always something good" in products or companies that are overlooked by the public, to seek it out, and to articulate it in clear, ordinary language. This "ability to find the good points" can directly become a weapon in business. Proposing unseen value in meetings. Moving people with possibilities rather than criticism. Advancing the team without creating conflict. In this course, I will explain how to find that perspective in a way that anyone can use starting tomorrow. In the latter half of the course, we will use the "Five Techniques for Discovering Good Points" to address your work-related concerns and engage in a "re-articulation" exercise on the spot. This is a practical two-hour session that you can take home, not just a listening experience.

[Speaker] Professor Hiroshi Shimizu, Graduate School of Technology Management, Nihon University [Key Lecture Content] A technology roadmap is a strategic method that illustrates the connections between market, product, and technology across three layers. It can be considered an important output that demonstrates the contributions of the technology department to management and business. However, it is not easy to depict how the strengthening of strategic and emerging technologies connects to technology, products, and markets, and contributes to management and business. In this seminar, I would like to explain the basic methods of technology marketing, particularly the creation of technology roadmaps using MPT-L. * MPT-L: Linkage between Market, Product, and Technology [Lecture Items] 1. What is a technology roadmap? 2. Basic knowledge for creating a technology roadmap 3. Market-in and product-out technology roadmaps 4. Individual skills for creating technology roadmaps and how to involve the organization 5. Summary, Q&A, and discussion

[Instructor] Daisuke Imaizumi, President and CEO, Infra Commons Inc. [Key Lecture Content] SpaceX is currently vertically integrating three businesses: semiconductor manufacturing (Terafab), satellite communications (Starlink), and space transportation (Starship), while concretizing its plan to deploy AI data centers in orbit. According to the prospectus and financial statements of the Nasdaq-listed SPC "SPCX," disclosed in 2025, Starlink accounts for \$11.39 billion of the total revenue of \$18.67 billion, demonstrating a high-profit structure with an EBITDA margin of 63%. On the other hand, over \$3 billion is being invested annually in Starship development, indicating a continued large-scale reinvestment in space infrastructure. This seminar will analyze the realities of this financial structure and the technological architecture of the "orbital AI data center," specifically discussing the areas where Japanese companies have opportunities to enter.

[Instructor] Kenji Sarukura, Attorney at Ushijima General Law Office [Key Lecture Content] The establishment and operation of data centers are subject to various legal regulations, including development regulations, environmental regulations, and ordinances from local governments. Therefore, thorough prior research, consideration, and coordination with administrative bodies are necessary. Recently, there have been many instances where the construction of data centers has been halted or significantly altered due to opposition from local residents, highlighting the need to address such risks. In this seminar, we will introduce an overview of the legal regulations and potential disputes that may arise when developing and advancing data center projects, along with practical considerations. [Lecture Topics] 1. Increase in Data Center Development and Disputes 2. Legal Regulations during Data Center Development and Operation (1) Land Acquisition and Construction (2) Environmental Regulations during Development and Operation (3) EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) and Power Supply Regulations (4) Other Regulations 3. Dispute Cases Related to Data Center Development (1) Litigation Cases (2) Trouble Cases 4. Q&A / Business Card Exchange
