Beyond 2026: Shaping a Sustainable Future Together

The anticipated social conference, Beyond 2026, is set to take place on October 30-31, 2026, in Kyoto, Japan. Organized by Taliki, collaborating with Kyoto City and Kyoto Research Park, this two-day event marks the 10th annual gathering, focusing on sustainable solutions for pressing social challenges. With participants from various sectors such as entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, government officials, investors, NGOs, and students, the conference aims to foster discussions on preserving and sustaining our fragile, yet invaluable, everyday lives.

Importance of Beyond

Launched in 2018, the Beyond conference serves as a critical junction for social entrepreneurs and those committed to solving societal issues. Over the past nine gatherings, it has welcomed more than 3,600 participants who have actively contributed to discussions on effective societal change.

A unique aspect of this conference is its emphasis on supporting individuals who aspire to resolve social issues. By engaging with professionals on the frontlines, participants will access essential resources and diverse perspectives crucial for business growth. Beyond is not just about receiving answers; it encourages collaboration across sectors and generations, creating an environment where ideas flourish and relationships strengthen.

This collaborative space is open to all who wish to improve society— providing opportunities for networking, sharing knowledge, and co-creating vibrant solutions.

Concept of Beyond 2026

The guiding concept of Beyond 2026 highlights a poignant metaphor: peace resembles polished glass. The more it is refined, the clearer it becomes, often leading us to forget its significance as a protective barrier in our daily lives. Only when society faces upheaval— when the glass shatters— do we recognize the fragility and preciousness of what surrounds us. The critical question arises: Who has been polishing this invisible pane? In a world obsessed with growth and prosperity, it's vital to acknowledge the individuals tirelessly working behind the scenes to prevent divisions and isolation, ensuring that our daily lives remain intact.

At Beyond 2026, participants will confront the intricate relationship between peace and prosperity. The conference will delve into understanding who bears the responsibility for sustaining peace while recognizing the often-overlooked efforts of individuals dedicated to social welfare. By framing peace as an essential social infrastructure, the discussions will explore how we can collectively maintain and protect this core value for future generations.
