On the first day of the event, Sue Naga Shunichiro, CBO of Megazone Japan, gave a presentation introducing demand in the Japanese AI and SW market and opportunities for entering Japan. In addition, Japan's AI policies and regulatory response measures were shared, along with the experiences of Korean companies that had already entered the market in finding partners and managing those partnerships.

On the second day, business consultation sessions were held one on one with a SI company from a major Japanese logistics group, with consulting companies selected directly on the basis of technology demand shared in advance by Japanese companies. The SI company operates businesses in building logistics systems, distribution systems, and financial systems, and is promoting DX projects.

The Korean companies introduced their solutions and use cases to relevant business departments, and discussed the potential for adoption at Japanese business sites and follow-up cooperation measures.

Based on this, KOSA plans to promote cooperation with local companies and institutions in Japan, identify technology demand, and expand matching opportunities for Korean AI and SW companies. It also plans to support follow-up business connections after the consultations and ensure that Korean companies can continue entering the Japanese market.
