TechTrain to Participate in "IVS2026 KYOTO," One of Japan's Largest Startup Conferences — New Proposal to Change the "Quality and Cost" of New Graduate IT Talent and Engineer Recruitment

With the mission "To be the terminal for everyone supporting technology," TechTrain (TechBowl Inc., Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Masao Ozawa, hereinafter "TechTrain") will participate in "IVS2026 KYOTO," one of Japan's largest startup conferences, to be held in Kyoto from July 1 (Wed) to 3 (Fri), 2026. TechTrain will exhibit a booth (Booth Number: SA-8) on DAY3, July 3 (Fri).

This participation was made possible through an introduction by XTech Ventures Inc. We will propose a new form of recruitment and training to review the costs of engineer recruitment and ensure you meet the "colleagues you truly want to work with."

Background of Participation

Amidst the advancement of AI utilization and changes in development organizations, the recruitment and development of IT talent in companies are becoming increasingly important.

However, many challenges are heard in new graduate engineer recruitment and student engineer recruitment, such as "We can gather a large pool of applicants, but we can't meet the talent we want to meet," "It's difficult to assess candidates' technical skills and aspirations," and "We can't fully design the post-recruitment training and on-site retention."

TechTrain has been supporting encounters with highly motivated individuals by utilizing a platform that brings together student engineers and new graduate IT talent, based on their development experience, learning history, mentor evaluations, aspirations, and understanding of their personality.

At IVS2026, we will introduce, from a practical perspective, a way of thinking that connects recruitment and development to achieve results, and approaches tailored to each company's challenges, in a setting where diverse individuals such as startups, corporations, investors, and supporters gather.
