I attended the “2025 Kumamoto New Industry & IT Business Exchange” (令和7年 熊本県新産業創出事業者・情報通信事業者情報交換会).

Event Overview

  • Event Name: 2025 Kumamoto New Industry & IT Business Exchange (令和7年 熊本県新産業創出事業者・情報通信事業者情報交換会)
  • Date: October 8, 2025 (Wed) 19:00-21:30
  • Venue: Arsaga Partners Co., Ltd. Shinshigai Office

The Energy-Filled Venue

On the day, approximately 35 people from various companies leading Kumamoto’s IT industry gathered. The new office of Arsaga Partners, which served as the venue, was filled with energy and excitement from the very beginning.

The sight of people from diverse backgrounds—engineers, designers, sales professionals, and business leaders—actively exchanging information across company boundaries was truly stimulating.

The Energy Felt During Lightning Talk Time

At the beginning of the event, there was a lightning talk (LT) session by volunteers. I also had the honor of speaking, sharing updates about my company and personal initiatives. The LTs from various companies covered a wide range of topics, from technical insights to behind-the-scenes business stories, making it an extremely stimulating time.

The Future of the Community

Witnessing the success of this event, I strongly felt that “it would be wonderful if such exchange opportunities could be held more openly and regularly.”

In Kumamoto, people with this level of passion can gather together. This community might become the starting point for creating new value and innovation in Kumamoto’s industry—I felt such great potential that evening.

Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who attended despite their busy schedules, and to Arsaga Partners and Elbowz for supporting the event with their wonderful venue and generous assistance. Thank you so much!
