We are pleased to announce that our CEO, Hiratani, has been invited to speak at the International Conference on Communication and Smart Devices 2026 (ICCoSD 2026), which will be held on December 17–18, 2026, at Birla Institute of Technology (BIT) Mesra in Ranchi, India.

ICCoSD 2026 is an international conference organized by the Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering at BIT Mesra. The conference brings together researchers, academics, and industry professionals from around the world to discuss the latest developments in communication systems, smart devices, artificial intelligence, and related technologies.

Earlier this year, Hiratani visited BIT Mesra and delivered a special lecture to faculty members and students. Following this visit, he was invited to participate in ICCoSD 2026 as a distinguished speaker.

We are honored that he has also been featured as one of the official invited speakers in the conference's promotional materials.

His presentation is expected to address a range of topics, including:

• The growing importance of communication skills in the age of AI
• Differences in communication between Indian and Japanese societies
• How disruptive innovation is transforming the world
• Why Japan has produced a remarkable number of Nobel laureates despite its relatively small population

Through opportunities such as ICCoSD 2026, we will continue to promote international exchange, share knowledge across borders, and contribute to innovation and collaboration on a global scale.
