Where do we create value as AI transforms society itself? Discussion on 'Space x AI x Robotics' and 'Startups x Large Corporations x Regional Collaboration' [SCRUM CONNECT Held]

Scrum Ventures and Scrum Studio Inc. will host SCRUM CONNECT 2026 on Friday, April 24th. Sustainable change cannot be created by technology alone – how do we design a "place" where people gather and challenges circulate? We will introduce examples of "Technology," "Towns," and "Culture" that Scrum Ventures is currently working on, and invite special guests from overseas to share advanced case studies.

We will host a session on "Space x AI x Robotics" with Mr. Ignacio G. López-Francos, AI Research Lead at NASA, and a session on "Startups x Large Corporations x Regional Collaboration" with Mr. Craig Dickman, Managing Partner of Titletown Tech, an advanced VC model in the United States.

Two portfolio startups of Scrum Ventures are also scheduled to attend. Mr. Angik Sarkar of Ixana, a startup developing innovative communication technology independent of radio waves, and Mr. Tom Roseberry of Olio Labs, a startup utilizing AI to realize next-generation combination therapies, will be present to give pitches and participate in a Fireside Chat.

We hope this event will be a place to explore new possibilities in the post-AI era together.
