Ricoh Japan to Host 'RICOH Value Presentation 2026 in Ishikawa' to Support Ishikawa Companies' DX and GX Initiatives with Generative AI and More

Ricoh Japan's Ishikawa Branch will co-host the "RICOH Value Presentation 2026 in Ishikawa" (organized by the Ishikawa Prefecture Ricoh Association) on July 23, 2026 (Thu) at the Kanazawa Port Cruise Terminal.

Under the theme "Transformation waits for no one. Companies that act will seize the future," this event will introduce generative AI, security services, back-office solutions, and industry-specific solutions aimed at helping businesses in Ishikawa Prefecture achieve digital transformation (DX) and green transformation (GX) to address their management challenges.

In recent years, rapid advancements in AI, rising cybersecurity threats, and the growing adoption of SDGs and ESG principles have significantly changed the business environment, making management challenges increasingly complex.

In response, medium-sized and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) in Ishikawa Prefecture are showing growing interest in leveraging technologies like AI for DX and GX. However, many companies express uncertainty, saying things like "We don't know where to start" or "We're unsure if these technologies can be applied to our operations."

With these challenges in mind, the event will offer hands-on exhibitions and seminars that allow attendees to see, experience, and envision practical applications of digital technologies—including generative AI—providing concrete insights for achieving DX and GX.
