Context & Analysis

The event is organized by Exa Wizards (securities code 4259), a Tokyo-based company founded in February 2016 and led by CEO Shin Harada. The program is built around three themes the company itself is promoting: AI-driven rebuilding of core systems, AI-based human capital management for CHROs, and a new sales-tech business whose full scope will be unveiled at the forum.

Beyond its own sessions, the forum leans heavily on co-creation with sponsors. Sumitomo Mitsui Banking, NTT Docomo Business, MS&AD, Persol Innovation, TOKIUM and Smartcamp are listed as sponsors, and their sessions cover organizational change, data infrastructure and AX implementation.

A notable thread is the mix of corporate case studies and policy voices. Speakers include members of the Diet such as Tak Hiroshi Anno and Katsunobu Kato, alongside academics like Ken Kusunoki of Hitotsubashi University and Tetsuya Ogata of Waseda University, covering topics from physical AI to AI in a super-aging society. The company notes that speakers, program content and the timetable may change or be canceled without notice.
