Vertex Partners at Eight EXPO 2026

On February 18th and 19th, 2026, Vertex Partners participated in the Eight EXPO 2026, held at Tokyo Big Sight, specifically within the "AI-PAX 2026" exhibition area. This event attracted numerous professionals interested in the utilization of generative AI, digital transformation (DX), and data application. Our booth welcomed a diverse group of attendees, including those from executive planning, research and development, and new business initiatives.

Event Overview

The AI-PAX event served as a hub for industry representatives eager to explore innovative applications of generative AI. Vertex Partners utilized this platform to showcase three of their key AI services:
1. R&D Focused AI
2. Consulting AI
3. Insight Agent

Introduction to Our Services and Onsite Experience

The showcased services were designed to enhance decision-making processes across research development, project execution, and data utilization. Interaction with attendees revealed a strong interest in how these services could be applied to their specific organizational challenges, sparking meaningful discussions about the practical use of AI in their operations.

1. R&D Focused AI

Our R&D specific AI integrates the inventive problem-solving methodology known as TRIZ, guiding users from the genesis of research themes through to their evaluation. This innovative service aids in the exploration of keywords, technical and market analysis, and the formulation of research themes, ripening the often subjective process of research design into a reproducible decision-making procedure.

Common Challenges:

• - Over-reliance on inspiration
• - Time-consuming research and documentation processes
• - Insufficient exploration from the customer and market perspective

Attendee Feedback:

• - "This could help standardize our research theme evaluation process."
• - "It seems approachable enough for junior researchers to participate in foundational discussions."
• - "I would like to apply it during the initial phase of theme deliberation."

2. Consulting AI

Consulting AI is a project support tool that alleviates dependence on external consultants. This service can swiftly tackle research, organize points of view, design hypotheses, and review decision materials—all tasks traditionally performed by consultants. Leveraging our consulting experience, we have standardized project methodologies, enabling junior staff and those outside core competencies to engage in high-quality discussions and decision-making.

Common Challenges:

• - High costs associated with external consultants
• - Dependence on the experience and skill of personnel
• - Variability in the quality and specificity of actions

Attendee Feedback:

• - "It could serve as a constructive think tank for internal projects."
• - "Even those unfamiliar with prompts could receive good quality materials for consideration."
• - "It may aid in quality checks of documentation."

3. Insight Agent

The Insight Agent takes data utilization to the next level, moving from simply viewing dashboards to receiving actionable insights directly. This platform ensures 24/7 data monitoring, automatically analyzing anomalies and changes, providing insightful reports, and notifying users of the next steps. This helps organizations to proactively utilize data, removing unnecessary dashboard interactions from busy workflows.

Common Challenges:

• - Decision-making still relying too heavily on intuition
• - Delayed recognition of anomalies or changes
• - Lack of progress in utilizing constructed dashboards

Attendee Feedback:

• - "The suggestion feature, along with alerts, seems really handy."
• - "It appears user-friendly for our teams on the ground."
• - "I can envision gaining new data utilization strategies from existing data."

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated in the event and visited our booth.
