What happened
SSK will host a seminar on Dec 4, 2026, 2–5 p.m., featuring Hideaki Ishihara, former Denso semiconductor division head and now Gifu University specially appointed professor, on "Mobility × Semiconductors" and "AI × Semiconductors."
Why it matters
Attendees get a structured overview of how semiconductor innovation underpins advances in AI and mobility, from quantum mechanics to advanced manufacturing and autonomous driving, per the seminar's stated agenda.

The seminar is organized by SSK, a company that has been running business seminars since its founding on December 6, 1996, and now holds about 500 per year. That track record helps explain the format: a single expert speaker, a multi-hour live session, and a two-week archive for those who cannot attend in real time.
The agenda moves from basic science to industrial strategy. It starts with the discovery of quantum mechanics and the invention of semiconductor technology, then turns to advanced manufacturing, naming TSMC, Kumamoto JASM and Rapidus in Hokkaido's Chitose. From there it covers computer history and AI chips, mobility and semiconductors for autonomous driving and electrification, and Nobel Prize research on quantum entanglement. The final session asks where humans will find their place as AI moves toward AGI.
Ishihara's background at Denso, an automotive supplier, and his current academic post at Gifu University suggest the discussion will connect automotive engineering with semiconductor technology. The seminar's stated aim is to help attendees organize their knowledge and see the bigger picture, not to make product announcements.
