Japan's Largest Open Innovation Summit 'OPEN INNOVATION SUMMIT 2026' to be Held on September 11 (Fri)! Registration Now Open for Exhibitors and General Attendees

eiicon Corporation, operator of the open innovation platform 'AUBA,' announces that it will hold 'OPEN INNOVATION SUMMIT 2026' (OI SUMMIT 2026) on September 11, 2026, at the Akasaka Intercity Conference in Tokyo. This summit evolves from the 'Japan Open Innovation Fes (JOIF),' which has been held for eight terms as a premier open innovation trade fair. Facing a historical turning point for Japanese companies—marked by industrial structural shifts, the rise of generative AI, and intensified global competition—this summit aims to be more than just a conference. Building on the achievements of JOIF, it will serve as a platform for diverse players to outline agendas for co-creation and project them into the future. The event will feature four forums led by industry pioneers, covering management strategy, technology, and global expansion. The 'Open Innovation Field' exhibition area will bring together large corporations, startups, SMEs, universities, local governments, and VCs to facilitate concrete business co-creation. The summit aims to evolve from a 'place for discussion' to a 'place where co-creation is born.'
