Today's energy industry faces multiple challenges, including rapidly increasing demand, aging infrastructure, and a shortage of skilled labor. In this session, we will introduce “HMAX Energy”, which combines deep-domain expertise across the entire energy value chain with advanced AI technologies, along with the unique value creation enabled by “One Hitachi”, as key elements in addressing these challenges. Through this session, we aim to engage with stakeholders tackling these challenges and share perspectives on the future of the energy landscape.

Why does sustainability so often remain something we 'should do' but fail to become something we actually deliver? This session explores that gap through Hitachi's PLEDGES, bringing together perspectives from capital markets and brain science. It examines how corporate value is assessed externally and how human decision making is shaped internally, revealing why initiatives stall at the execution stage. It also clarifies where the main barriers lie and how they can be overcome, offering insights to help turn intent into action and drive long term corporate value.

As frontier AI rapidly moves beyond the digital realm and begins reshaping the physical world, leaders are challenged to transform themselves using AI. Hitachi is driving the transformation of social infrastructure, customer's frontline operations with “HMAX by Hitachi”, combining advanced AI with decades of domain knowledge. In this session, legendary former Microsoft engineer Satoshi Nakajima, now based in the U.S., will share insights from his acclaimed book, 2034 Future Prediction: Tomorrow with AI, and explore new ways of living in the era of Physical AI.

Across Japan, labor shortages and aging assets have become unavoidable challenges, including in the railway sector. Hitachi aims to transform mission-critical infrastructure and achieve sustainable railway operations by evolving systems through the integration of digital and physical assets centered on HMAX. In this session with Seibu Railway, we will highlight strategic initiatives for leveraging existing assets, combine them with Hitachi's solutions, and envision ideal rolling stock and systems toward 2040, while discussing future perspectives.

Facing acute 2030 labor shortages, ensuring the stability of complex social infrastructure is a critical enterprise challenge. NTT DOCOMO and Hitachi are tackling this through an AI-centered infrastructure transformation. This session showcases cutting-edge initiatives, including joint-trial AI agents for system operations. Leaders from NTT DOCOMO, Hitachi, and GlobalLogic will discuss global AI trends, infrastructure evolution, and operational shifts that free engineers for true value creation. Explore the future of 2030.

Hitachi Energy has been supporting a wide range of customers in the Japanese power market through Energy Portfolio Management (EPM), covering forecasting, market and supply-demand analysis, energy trading, risk management, and settlement. Building on this foundation, our new solution, Market Insights, delivers data-driven and AI-enabled insights tailored to the Japanese power market. In this seminar, product representatives from Japan and the United States will discuss market trends and challenges, and explain the value EPM—especially Market Insights—can deliver.
