Spectee at Kobe's Resilience Session

In a notable event coinciding with the 30th anniversary of the Great Hanshin Earthquake, Spectee, a Tokyo-based disaster tech startup, is set to participate in the Resilience Session: Shinsai to Mirai no Kobe Haku on April 26-27, 2025. This event, hosted by the City of Kobe, serves as a platform for discussing the lessons learned from past disasters and how to innovate future disaster management strategies.

Kobe has evolved significantly over the past three decades, integrating the hard and soft skills required to build a resilient city. The city is committed to using new technologies to tackle disasters effectively while also contributing to global welfare initiatives. This year, Kobe has launched the Shinsai 30-Year Project, which aims to showcase its efforts as a resilient city that is globally impactful. The Resilience Session is part of this initiative and is designed to engage visitors of all ages in discussions and activities related to disaster preparedness.

Engaging Discussions with Students

Spectee will be showcasing its innovative AI disaster management solution—Spectee Pro—at a booth located at the Design & Creative Center Kobe (KIITO), specifically at booth number 11. The exhibit will run for the entire two days, providing attendees with insights into how AI can revolutionize disaster response and management.

One of the highlights of the event will be a panel discussion titled, University Students Debate! The Disaster Revolution of 2040—How Will Future Disaster Management Change? This session, scheduled for April 26 from 4 PM to 5 PM, will be moderated by Spectee's CEO, Kenjiro Murakami. In this interactive session, university students will share their visions regarding the future of disaster management, discussing the roles that technology—such as smartphones, AI, and robotics—will play in shaping their approaches to emergency preparedness.

This dialogue aims to provoke critical thought about how new generations perceive disaster management in light of advancing technologies and changing societal needs.
