Spectee's Key Participation in the 6th InnoCom Reverse Pitch Event

Spectee, a leading platform in the resilience sector, is set to participate as a guest speaker at the upcoming 6th InnoCom Reverse Pitch event, hosted by Sekisui House Innovation & Communication. This event will take place on August 27, 2026, and features the company's CEO, Kenjiro Murakami, who will share insights on vital topics relating to procurement and risk management.

What is InnoCom Reverse Pitch?

The InnoCom Reverse Pitch is a unique open innovation event where various departments within the Sekisui House Group present their business challenges and future themes to external partners, including startups. Unlike traditional pitch formats where startups present their ideas, this event flips the script, allowing companies to pitch their issues while inviting innovative solutions from external experts.

Theme for the 6th Edition: 'DX in Procurement Supporting Housing Development'

For the sixth edition, the focus will be on 'DX in Procurement Supporting Housing Development'. This theme will provide a platform for Sekisui House's procurement department to share genuine challenges faced in the residential industry's supply chain. The event aims to connect challenges with innovative ideas and technologies to enhance procurement efficiency and resilience.

Featured Speakers and Topics

The event will welcome notable speakers, including Public Procurement Manager Koichi Sano and Masashi Michi from Sekisui House's procurement department, alongside Spectee's CEO, Kenjiro Murakami. Murakami will deliver a keynote addressing 'What Changes with Procurement Data?' This session aims to uncover the information, technology, and partnerships essential for making informed procurement decisions necessary to sustain housing development amidst emerging risks.

During his presentation, Murakami will elaborate on how the escalating frequency of natural disasters and geopolitical risks are altering the risk landscape surrounding supply chains. Specifically, he will showcase Spectee's real-time risk detection and visualization capabilities powered by AI, along with real-world applications of these systems. Murakami will also emphasize risk management practices in procurement and purchasing domains, providing valuable insights toward strengthening supply chain resilience. Furthermore, he will focus on practical strategies that integrate crisis management and risk intelligence within the context of the procurement DX theme.
