UPWARD to Exhibit at Insurance EXPO 2026

UPWARD Inc., based in Chiyoda, Tokyo and led by CEO Ryusuke Kaneki, is excited to announce its participation in the Insurance EXPO 2026, which will take place on July 23, 2026, at the Otemachi Place Hall & Conference. As the insurance sector grapples with new regulatory changes introduced in June 2026 and increasing compliance awareness, there is a pressing need for companies to enhance customer interaction processes and manage sales documentation objectively.

UPWARD will occupy a prominent position in the Security & Risk Management zone of the EXPO, showcasing its unique location technology combined with state-of-the-art generative AI. This groundbreaking compliance and sales digital transformation solution aims to automate and securely document interactions with customers, providing unassailable evidence for compliance purposes.

Addressing Operational Efficiency and Record Management

The insurance industry is shifting from an era relying on personal memory and manual data entry to embracing transparent and objective process management. In this context, it becomes increasingly burdensome for field agents to accurately record detailed discussions amid busy schedules. Organizations are now challenged to harmonize governance enhancement with the necessity of client interaction.

UPWARD addresses these challenges head-on. Its solutions automatically associate key transactional data, such as automatic recordings, summaries, and location histories of business meetings, with existing CRM systems without stressing the field team. This innovative approach guarantees accuracy in explanations while strengthening internal management and risk oversight. Demonstrations will be available at the EXPO to showcase how these systems work in practice.
