[April 8th for 3 Days] The Next Rising Startups are Here. 34 Promising Companies* Within 8 Years of Founding Gather for "Japan Startup Summit" to Directly Meet Notable Generative AI and DX Companies

RX Japan G.K. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Executive Officer and President: Takeshi Tanaka) will hold the "Japan Startup Summit," a special project featuring 34 promising startups* founded within 8 years, at "Japan IT Week Spring 2026," which will take place from April 8 (Wednesday) to April 10 (Friday), 2026.

■ Background: The Next Innovation is Born from Startups

The advancement of generative AI and DX has led to many new businesses emerging from startups.

Especially in areas such as AI, data utilization, and business automation, companies that change the market in a short period are appearing one after another, leveraging speed and flexibility.

On the other hand, companies face challenges such as:

"We don't know which startups to partner with."

"We can't efficiently meet promising companies."

■ Features of this Project: "Compare and Consider 34 Promising Startups* Collectively"

In this project, 34 promising startups* founded within 8 years will gather in one place.

It is possible to compare and consider companies in fields that will shape future business, such as generative AI, business automation, and data utilization, in a short amount of time.

■ Special Event: Networking Session to Directly Speak with Startups ≪Limited to April 8 (Wednesday)≫
