Speaking Engagements at Conferences in Japan and Overseas

External Speaking and Media Engagements

IINO Group actively participates in events and conferences in Japan and overseas, covering a broad range of fields including maritime transportation and logistics, startups, deep tech, and innovation. In FY2025, Group representatives participated in more than 10 external speaking and media engagements, actively promoting dialogue with global industry communities.

These engagements reflect the knowledge and expertise that the Group has accumulated over the years, as well as the extensive network it has built with a diverse range of partners in Japan and overseas. They also demonstrate the breadth and depth of the Group's human and relationship capital.

Beyond sharing our knowledge and perspectives through speaking engagements, these events provide valuable opportunities to gain new ideas and perspectives through discussions and interactions with participants during and after sessions. The timely and reliable insights gained into market and technology trends and industry challenges are incorporated into the formulation of our business strategies and the creation of new businesses. Such insights serve as an important management resource supporting the implementation of the priority strategies set out in our new Medium-term Management Plan.
