The Taiwan Kyushu Innovation & Technology Conference in Kumamoto offers a platform for global thought leaders to discuss and collaborate on fostering the next generation of industries through partnerships between Kyushu, Taiwan, and Silicon Valley.

At Asahi Tekko, a generative AI, affectionately named “AI Kimutetsu,” analyzes operations every morning based on the CEO’s learned thinking.
