Kick-off Event of the GX Alliance by SUITz

On January 27, 2026, the much-anticipated GX Alliance by SUITz will officially launch, spearheaded by Adlight, a Tokyo-based company dedicated to enabling co-creation for a greener future. This platform aims to bridge the gap between government, academia, and startups to facilitate the verification and commercialization of technologies aimed at achieving decarbonization and net-zero emissions.

Background: The Shift Towards Green Transformation

Japan's efforts towards Green Transformation (GX) are evolving beyond mere environmental compliance to a phase of structural industrial change. The government is pushing for its GX action plan, mobilizing over 150 trillion yen towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. However, a significant challenge remains—the disconnection of perspectives on proofs of concept and technological collaborations across various companies, municipalities, and startups. Addressing this issue requires a paradigm shift, redefining GX as the redesign of industrial systems through collaborative efforts.

What to Expect on January 27

The kick-off event will feature a thought-provoking theme centered around "Implementing GX: Social Change Driven by Policy, Industry, and Startups." This two-hour hybrid event will include expert-led discussions on policies, insights from industry leaders on the latest trends, startup pitches, and networking opportunities. The intent is to converge on actionable ideas for collaboration to accelerate implementation of GX strategies among all participants.
