Spready Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Masayoshi Sako) will hold a fully offline conference for new business developers at business companies, "NEXT Innovation Summit 2026 in TOKYO," on August 28, 2026 (Fri) in Kyobashi, Tokyo (Incubation CANVAS TOKYO). This will be the second time this event is held. Background of the Event In today's rapidly accelerating world, the business environment surrounding companies is becoming more complex than ever due to technological innovation, diversification of customer needs, and changes in competitive structures. As it becomes difficult to envision sustainable growth solely by extending existing businesses, challenging new businesses is no longer an initiative limited to a few leading companies, but has become an important strategic theme in corporate management. In this context, those in charge of new businesses are at the forefront of the company's challenge to "conceive and shape future businesses." On the other hand, the promotion of new businesses involves many difficulties, such as unprecedented decision-making, trial and error, and internal organizational adjustments, and there are many situations that are difficult to overcome through individual effort and experience alone. This is precisely why the sharing of experiences and knowledge among practitioners who have continued to take on challenges in similar positions is important. Real-life lessons, including not only success stories but also the background of failures and conflicts, and decision-making processes, will provide a solid guide for taking the next step. Let the wisdom of everyone's challenges be a boost to everyone's back. NEXT Innovation Summit 2026 is a conference aimed at bringing together new business developers from large corporations to share practical knowledge across company boundaries, learn from each other, and shape future challenges together.
