Chushikoku DX Summit 2026: Accelerating Regional Industry via AI Transformation

INDUSTRIAL-X Co., Ltd., together with the Chugoku Economic Federation, is pleased to announce the 'Chushikoku DX Summit 2026' on Tuesday, July 7, 2026. This business conference is designed to support the transformation of regional companies in the Chushikoku area. The theme for this year is 'AI Transformation as an extension of DX.' The summit aims to bridge the perspectives of management, business units, and the front lines. Recognizing that many regional SMEs struggle with limited talent and information for solo DX/AI initiatives, the event provides a platform for 'horizontal collaboration' and co-creation across industry boundaries. Program Overview: 1. Keynote: 'Is AI an extension of DX or a discontinuity? The essence of Business Redesign in Corporate Transformation' (Tomonori Yako, CEO of INDUSTRIAL-X). 2. Session 1: 'How front-line data connects to AI—the reality of operational transformation' (Yoshikazu Haba, Managing Director of Kitaka Denki; Takashi Miyazaki, Managing Director of Copros). 3. Session 2: 'From operational reform to business transformation—Value creation models in the AI era' (Kana Fujiwara, Vice President of Fujiwara Techno-Art; Daisuke Nakauchi, Executive Officer of BEMAC). 4. Session 3: 'How AI changes operations—Live session generating apps on the spot.' *For on-site participants - Participant Networking Party: Free exchange between speakers and attendees, featuring ice-breakers and knowledge sharing. - Free Individual DX Consultation (Pre-registration required, limited to 4 companies): Direct support for identifying challenges and creating roadmaps using INDUSTRIAL-X's 'Boundary Challenge Map.' Whether a company has yet to begin DX or is seeking its next move with AI, this summit offers clues directly linked to solving business challenges.
