In-house Development Summit 2026: A Hub for Innovation

The highly anticipated In-house Development Summit 2026 is set to take place on February 25, 2026, at the Hamamatsucho Convention Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Organized by Findy, a premier engineer platform, this event aims to unite IT engineers, project managers, and business leaders from 13 pioneering companies, including notable names such as Tokyu, Chugai Pharmaceutical, and ENEOS.

Focus of the Summit

This year, the summit revolves around the theme "Creating the Core of Business: The Essence of In-house Development". The event is constructed as a forum for sharing insights and experiences related to in-house development, emphasizing practical approaches and real-life case studies that help tackle challenges faced by organizations. The previous year's focus on the 'realities' of in-house development transitions to a deeper exploration of its fundamental value to businesses in today's fast-paced technology landscape.

In the age of generative AI and digital transformation, merely improving operational efficiency is no longer sufficient to maintain market competitiveness. Thus, leading Japanese corporations, renowned for their unique domain knowledge, need to transform this expertise into software solutions that create a difficult-to-imitate business infrastructure. This summit is a platform for industry leaders to showcase how in-house development can generate substantial business value while sharing the philosophies and transformative journeys of their organizations.
