SB C&S Corp. (Hereinafter 'SB C&S') held 'AI Frontline,' an exhibition and hands-on event that brought together the latest Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions, in Tokyo on March 12, 2026.

This event, the first AI event hosted by SB C&S, was held with the goal of 'supporting concrete first steps in AI adoption.' It featured booth exhibitions by 105 leading domestic and international manufacturers and sessions by prominent experts in the AI industry. Approximately 2,000 people attended, making it a venue where they could envision the next move in their company's AI utilization by getting a comprehensive overview, from the entire AI market landscape to specific implementation and deployment images.

The exhibition area covered all the necessary elements for AI adoption, including hardware such as AI servers and AI PCs, next-generation network equipment, generative AI foundation models, AI SaaS, data utilization platforms, and security solutions. It provided a platform for attendees to move from 'knowing' to 'acting,' as they could compare products while handling actual devices and proceed with individual consultations and business negotiations at each booth.

In the lecture hall, a total of 19 diverse sessions were held. Against the backdrop of the rapid evolution of AI, these lectures presented future visions such as the progress of multimodality, the practical application of AI agents, and the automation of labor through the fusion of AI and robots (RPA). In addition, a wide range of topics were covered, including the forefront of corporate AI utilization, social implementation initiatives, the importance of AI infrastructure, and the security risks associated with the expanding use of AI and their countermeasures. It was a fulfilling program that showed the current state and future prospects of AI utilization.

In a survey of all event attendees, many commented that it was 'very informative,' they 'would definitely like to participate again next year,' and they 'were able to compare various solutions at once,' resulting in an overall satisfaction rate of 86% (based on our preliminary data). It was more than just an exhibition; through product displays and lectures/sessions, it became an opportunity for attendees to dramatically increase their resolution for success in integrating AI into their own businesses.

SB C&S will continue to strengthen its collaboration with manufacturers and sales partners to contribute to business creation through AI and the promotion of corporate DX.
