A word from the person in charge
The number of people developing software, including AI and IT, has increased, but it is "manufacturing" that supports the Japanese economy. In 2026, we will hold a conference in Hiroshima with next-generation researchers who will shape the future of manufacturing. We look forward to announcing the challenges undertaken there.
