Announcement of Participation in "Infrastructure Maintenance National Conference Kinki Forum 2026"

As the aging of Japan's infrastructure becomes increasingly critical, the importance of preventive maintenance through inspection and repair is higher than ever before.

The "Infrastructure Maintenance National Conference Kinki Forum" is an exhibition where industry, government, academia, and private sectors in the Kinki region collaborate to solve challenges in infrastructure maintenance toward sustainable social foundation construction. Over 100 exhibitors in six categories, including "Maintenance/Repair/Reinforcement/Renewal," "DX/ICT/AI," "Disaster Prevention/Mitigation Measures," "Maintenance/Monitoring/Inspection," "Environmental Conservation/Carbon Neutrality," and "Others," will gather to showcase their various products and technologies.

At our exhibition booth, we will introduce the testing facilities and technologies owned by our organization using displays and specimens, and we will propose material testing that supports infrastructure maintenance tailored to customer needs. Please feel free to consult with us.

We look forward to seeing you there.
