Spectee Participates in Municipal Infrastructure AX Summit 2026

The Municipal Infrastructure AX Summit 2026, scheduled for February 18th at the Tokyo Innovation Base (TIB), is set to address the importance of sustainable infrastructure management in an era of declining populations. Spectee, represented by its CEO Kenjiro Murakami, will contribute to this significant event by exploring how digital transformation (DX) in routine inspections can bolster emergency infrastructure management.

Event Overview

The AX Summit focuses on the theme of AI Transformation (AX), which strives to convert the invaluable experience and intuition of veteran workers into assets that can be preserved through advanced technologies such as AI. With challenges like aging infrastructure and workforce shortages on the rise, the need for effective DX to protect lives during emergencies is greater than ever.

The event aims to redefine "correct maintenance" in relation to both daily inspections and emergency responses, showcasing how innovative approaches can result in more resilient infrastructure.

Murakami will join representatives from various municipalities including Tamana City, Tanabe City, and Fukui Prefecture to engage in discussions on advanced practices in infrastructure management.

Key Topics of Discussion:

- Cost Reduction through In-house Practices: Sharing insights on how municipalities can implement cost-saving strategies through internal capabilities.
- DX Initiatives in Construction and Survey Planning: Promoting digital transformation in municipal functions and service delivery.
- Innovative Infrastructure Inspections using Drones: Showcasing pioneering models that utilize drone technology for infrastructure inspections and disaster prevention.
