NAVICUS at Meta's Symposium on Information Literacy

On February 17, 2026, NAVICUS, a leading company in communication support services, will participate in an important symposium organized by Meta's Japan branch, Facebook Japan. The event is titled `Considering the Information Literacy Necessary in Uncertain Times`, focusing on the need for trust-building initiatives for both individuals and organizations.

In today's digital landscape, issues like the spread of misinformation, outrage, and reputational damage are increasingly affecting businesses. These challenges cannot be tackled by individuals or single companies in isolation; a collective effort toward raising awareness and proactive engagement at the organizational level is crucial.

The symposium will explore the digital risks faced by organizations, aiming to clarify the structure and reality of information dissemination. The discussions will revolve around how leadership can maintain `trusted dialogues with society`. The program is outlined as follows:

• - Opening Remarks by the Host
• - Keynote Lecture: The Reality of Information Dissemination and Corporate Risks in the Digital Space
• - Session 1: Strengthening Information Resilience Through Fact-Checking Mindsets
• - Session 2: Corporate Digital Resilience Realized by Fan Communities
• - Panel Discussion
• - Networking Session

NAVICUS's representative, Kazunari Takeuchi, will be addressing the topic of `Corporate Digital Resilience Realized by Fan Communities`. He plans to discuss the `silence risk` that businesses face when they decide not to communicate on social media, alongside cases where fan communities have acted to cleanse misinformation and malicious attacks. He will present effective communication strategies that focus on building trust even during calm periods.

In addition to the sessions, experts in the field of information literacy will also present, sharing valuable insights into the realities of information dissemination in the social media landscape and the practical perspectives required from organizations.

This symposium is part of the `DIGITAL POSITIVE ACTION` initiative pushed by the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.
