Discover MODE, the Silicon Valley Startup Revolutionizing Field Data Management at Japan DX Week Spring 2026

MODE to Exhibit at Japan DX Week Spring 2026

MODE, Inc., a Silicon Valley-based startup focused on field data integration, is excited to announce its participation in the Japan DX Week Spring 2026. The event will take place from April 8 to 10, 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight, specifically within the AI & Business Automation Exhibition. CEO Gaku Ueda leads the charge, highlighting how their technologies can transform the way businesses manage operations.

Under the banner "See the Site Without Being There," MODE aims to tackle the significant challenges faced by the construction, manufacturing, and logistics industries, such as labor shortages and complex operations. Many companies struggle to understand real-time site conditions or have decision-making processes that are often dependent on individual personnel. MODE's innovative solution, BizStack, is designed to bridge these gaps by integrating data from various sources, including IoT devices, camera feeds, existing business systems, and SaaS platforms. This unified data foundation empowers businesses to obtain a holistic view of site conditions swiftly and efficiently.

Exhibition Concept: A New Era of Site Management

During the exhibition, MODE will emphasize AI automation in site operations, showcasing how AI can be used to facilitate remote awareness of site information and guide worker actions. The exhibition will focus on how leveraging AI can significantly enhance operational efficiency and safety, ensuring an intelligent response to dynamic site challenges. By interacting with AI, users can intuitively retrieve necessary information and confirm site conditions, making real-time decision-making more accessible and streamlined.

Conference Session Featuring CEO Gaku Ueda

In addition to the exhibition, Gaku Ueda will take the stage at the Japan DX Week Conference, discussing the pivotal role of technologies like AI and robotics in addressing labor shortages resulting from Japan's aging population. Having played a key role in the development of influential products such as Google Maps and Twitter, Ueda brings a wealth of experience from Silicon Valley. He will deliver insights into the latest trends in “Collaborative AI” - a shift from replacing humans with AI to augmenting human capabilities through advanced technology.
