A honeycomb structure that achieves a fine lattice exceeding 10,000 cells/in². It can be transported without deforming the shape of thin materials (such as paper and film)!

Micro-honeycomb is a honeycomb structure that achieves a fine lattice of over 10,000 cells/in². The honeycomb structure is arranged without gaps in a shape resembling hexagonal prisms, and can be likened to mesh, grids, or the eyes of a dragonfly. Because it is hollow inside, it can create lightweight yet strong materials. In addition to being able to form integrated pieces over 200mm, it is also possible to impart functions through materials such as black materials and electrostatic discharge materials. By attaching micro-honeycomb to the suction head, it serves as a filter, allowing for the transportation of delicate parts and thin film materials that are prone to deformation while maintaining their shape. It is also possible to transport cut films measuring 1cm square. [Applications as a suction head] - Transportation of thin film materials that are prone to deformation - Transportation of paper that is prone to wrinkling - Fibers - Transportation of fine precision parts For other applications, please feel free to contact us. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to reach out to us.

[Instructor] Representative of Digital Infrastructure Consulting LLC (DIRC) President of Regenerative Infrastructure Inc. (R11i) Mr. Takashi Furuta [Key Lecture Content] The data center market, which has continued to grow based on the internet and cloud, is expected to see a further explosive increase in demand due to the extensive use of computational resources that constitute generative AI. Meanwhile, in the Japanese market, foreign funds and global operators are leading development, while Japanese companies face challenges such as revenue opportunities, business continuity through exit strategies, reduced flexibility due to early securing of power, constraints of grid electricity, soaring construction costs, and coexistence with local communities. This lecture will organize these structural challenges and explore integrated location strategies for power, communication, and computational resources in the AI era, conditions for regional dispersion to areas like Hokkaido and Kyushu, and the business strategies that Japanese players should adopt.

[Speaker] Technical Advisor Shikenoh Furuno, Japan Automobile Parts Industry Association [Key Lecture Content] In February 2026, the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz, which led to skyrocketing prices of crude oil, naphtha, and other petroleum products, severely impacting the global economy. While renewable energy (renewables) is becoming more widespread, the reality of the energy crisis has highlighted the world's continued heavy reliance on crude oil. This has prompted a reevaluation of the value of BEVs, revealing distinct regional differences in the market. While Europe, Japan, and Southeast Asia are experiencing growth, the U.S. continues to see a contraction. In China, REEVs are also on the rise, and the movement towards a hydrogen society utilizing surplus renewable energy is accelerating. Moreover, with the evolution of AI and SoC, the value of cars is shifting from hardware to software, and the development of SDVs and autonomous driving is rapidly advancing. However, there are also concerns about being technology-driven. This lecture will organize these changes and provide an outlook on the future mobility society, including energy considerations.
