The service is scheduled to launch in November. Archived videos and materials provided can be shared internally and utilized for training new personnel and in-house training.

▼The Ever-Evolving Smart Home Market Requires Continuous Market Understanding from Companies

The global smart home market is expected to continue growing, driven by advancements in AI technology and standardization efforts like Matter. In this environment, it is becoming increasingly crucial for companies already in the smart home business, as well as those considering entry or implementation, to continuously grasp domestic and international market trends and reflect them in their business strategies and product development.

However, it is not easy for担当者 or business leaders to continuously monitor market and technological changes alongside their daily tasks. Information gathering requires significant time and effort, and it is also necessary to interpret the collected information and determine priorities for one's own company.

X-HEMISTRY has continuously gathered and analyzed information on the smart home market through overseas exhibitions and its network of domestic and international companies and organizations. Under the supervision of CEO Fumimasa Niibai, the "Smart Home Research Institute" is a membership service that provides primary information and analysis not disclosed in free events, from a neutral standpoint overlooking domestic and international market trends, to support companies' business strategies and product development.

▼Services and Membership Benefits of the "Smart Home Research Institute"

1. Intensive Market Understanding! Four "In-Person Seminars" Annually

Quarterly in-person seminars will be held on themes such as overseas exhibitions like CES and IFA, standardization trends including Matter and Aliro, AI advancements, and the latest case studies from international companies. Participants will learn how to interpret market changes with X-HEMISTRY's unique explanations and analysis, gaining insights applicable to business strategies, service planning, and product development for companies considering entering the smart home business, those already operating in it, and those considering implementing smart homes, tailored to their respective phases. Up to three participants per company are planned.

2. Catch Market Changes in Real-Time! Latest Information "Letter Delivery"

Letters containing hints useful for considering in-house implementation/commercialization and market understanding will be distributed periodically, aligned with the latest news and topics in the domestic and international smart home markets. This allows for timely grasp of market and technological changes, ensuring important trends are not missed and enabling efficient, continuous information gathering.

3. Free Invitation to CES & IFA Briefings

Members of this program will receive complimentary access to X-HEMISTRY's CES and IFA briefings, which are planned to be paid events in the future. Participants can learn the latest information and market analysis from world-class exhibitions, and the briefings foster active interaction among attendees, providing opportunities to gain new perspectives and networks applicable to their company's business development and product strategies through exchanges with industry professionals.

▼Three Values of the "Smart Home Research Institute"

1. Provides Insights Applicable from Market Understanding to Business Consideration and Product Development

Instead of merely presenting news and trends, this service organizes the impact of market changes on companies and industries with X-HEMISTRY's expertise, offering a perspective to discern what is important for one's own company. Based on technological trends such as AI and global smart home standards like "Matter" and "Aliro," and changes in overseas markets, it deepens market understanding and provides insights broadly applicable from considering in-house implementation/commercialization to business strategy, service planning, and product development.

2. Enables Knowledge Sharing within the Company and Utilization for Human Resource Development

Provided archived videos, materials, and periodically distributed letters can be shared within contracted companies. This knowledge can be shared across various departments involved in smart homes, including planning, development, sales, and project promotion, not just for individual learning, but also for training new personnel and in-house training. It fosters a common understanding of the market across the entire organization and allows for continuous accumulation as corporate knowledge.

3. Reduces Time and Cost for Market Research

Continuously researching and analyzing overseas exhibitions, various technology trends, and the latest AI-related case studies independently requires significant time and effort. The "Smart Home Research Institute" reduces the burden of information gathering and analysis by continuously providing primary information on domestic and international markets collected and analyzed by X-HEMISTRY, enabling efficient market understanding.
