On March 13, 2026, an exchange event will be held with participating companies of Q-STAR (General Incorporated Association for the Creation of New Industries through Quantum Technology), with the cooperation of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) Global Research Center for Quantum-AI Fusion Technology Business Development. We encourage companies, local governments, and anyone interested in quantum technology, including quantum computers, to join us.

Our association is working to promote the widespread adoption of quantum technology in society, with a particular focus on its application in "community development." However, to concretely implement it in the "community development" sector, building a cooperative system with companies and local governments in each region is essential. We believe there is a need for a venue where we can share quantum technology applications, foster mutual understanding, explore its application to real regional challenges, and engage in diverse discussions. Furthermore, rather than individual considerations in each region, we believe it is important to foster a sense of unity across local governments and companies, which led to the organization of this event.

On the day of the event, in addition to introducing case studies of quantum technology initiatives, we plan to provide a venue for mutual understanding and networking aimed at utilizing quantum technology. On-site participants will also have the opportunity to tour computing environments such as quantum computers and GPU supercomputers within G-QuAT. We will also have a Q&A session, so please feel free to ask any questions. A social gathering is also planned, so we encourage you to join us at the venue.
