Re-examining "Future Education" in the AI Era and an Uncertain Society

With the rapid evolution of technology, including AI, daily life and work styles are undergoing significant changes. Furthermore, in an era where yesterday's norms can change in an instant due to international instability, environmental issues, and the spread of unknown viruses, what role should education play?

Since its establishment, BYD has been creating "learning that makes students genuinely want to challenge themselves" with schools nationwide, focusing on career education, inquiry-based learning, and entrepreneurship education.

At this EDIX Tokyo 2026, we will express various "questions" for the education industry throughout the entire booth.
The booth will consist of exhibition/interaction spaces and seminar spaces, providing opportunities for direct dialogue not only with BYD staff but also with partner companies and education professionals.

Booth Concept: "Department Store of New Era Education"

This BYD booth is not a place to introduce a single educational service.
It is, so to speak, a "Department Store of New Era Education," bringing together a variety of themes necessary for future schools, such as school reform, inquiry-based learning, career education, corporate collaboration, AI/technology utilization, teaching material development, and regional collaboration.

BYD's strength lies in its ability to design customized educational programs by combining necessary programs according to each school's challenges and characteristics.

"I want to make inquiry-based learning more practical."
"I want to create classes that collaborate with companies and local communities."
"I want to design career education that truly engages students."
"I want to promote school specialization and attractiveness."
"As a company wanting to start an education business, I want to deliver value to schools effectively."

To address these challenges, BYD develops flexible educational solutions by connecting schools, companies, and local governments.

Seminars with diverse guests, including Kao Corporation and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, are planned to be held within the booth.

In the seminar space within the BYD booth, various seminars are planned during the exhibition period.
We will invite diverse guests, including major companies such as Kao Corporation and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, educational venture companies, school administrators, teachers in charge of inquiry-based learning, and educational board officials, to hold collaborative seminars in our booth.
Topics expected to be covered include the potential of corporate-school collaboration in education, practical examples of inquiry-based learning, future school reform, and career education in the AI era, all aimed at connecting to practical application for education professionals starting tomorrow.

Experiential content also available at the booth

At the BYD booth, visitors will not only see exhibits but also have the opportunity to experience content firsthand.
We will introduce inquiry-based learning programs, career education, corporate collaboration workshops, and technology-driven educational content that we have provided to schools nationwide, in a way that visitors can concretely visualize.

We aim to create a booth where education professionals can imagine, by substituting their own students and teachers:

"This program could be implemented at our school."

"This corporate collaboration seems like it would really engage students."

"This could be used to create our school's unique identity."

BYD has provided educational content to over 250 schools and more than 50,000 children and students.

BYD has provided inquiry-based learning, career education, workshops, and corporate collaboration programs to over 250 schools and more than 50,000 children and students nationwide.

For schools, we do not uniformly provide existing teaching materials or programs, but rather design tailor-made educational solutions that align with the school's culture, regional characteristics, student realities, and teachers' aspirations.

Furthermore, for companies wishing to start an education business or expand existing education businesses into schools, we provide end-to-end support from business structuring to school implementation, curriculum design, operation, and expansion.

To support schools consistently from student enrollment to graduation.

And for schools to become "places overflowing with smiles and vitality."

That is BYD's goal for educational support.

Representative's Comment

Sota Inoue, Representative Director, BYD Co., Ltd.

We have been working with schools nationwide to create learning that inspires both students and teachers to genuinely challenge themselves, with the vision of "realizing a society full of passionate individuals."

As AI and technology rapidly evolve, the fundamental assumptions of society are changing significantly.
