The NPO IT Coordinator Association (Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Chairman: Masami Nomura), in co-sponsorship with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan (IPA), will hold the 'Spring WEB Conference 2026' online on Friday, April 17.
With the hope of successfully revitalizing regional communities through digital transformation, we will once again deliver the latest related policies from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and IPA this year. Recently, even among small and medium-sized enterprises, interest in digitalization, especially AI, has certainly increased for the purpose of improving operational efficiency and addressing labor shortages. On the other hand, many challenges are heard, such as 'I don't know where to start with DX' and 'I'm interested in AI utilization but can't envision a concrete plan.' Furthermore, amidst the continuous evolution of AI agents and global massive investments in AI, the perspective of 'how to leverage AI for business management' is now required even for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Against this background, this conference aims to provide useful information on AI utilization and DX promotion in small and medium-sized enterprises, including practical approaches and specific case studies.
In addition to policy introductions from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and IPA, there will be an introduction to the 'IT Coordinator Practical Guide 3.0' issued at the end of March this year, and a panel discussion featuring President Kimura of Asahi Tekko Co., Ltd., known for 'AI Kimutetsu,' and President Nakamura of Chowa Giken Co., Ltd., who is also the representative of 'Sapporo AI Dojo,' to provide practical insights for successful AI utilization. We hope you will look forward to content directly related to human resource development and support at the現場.
