​SuSHi Techの後に、ロボティクスに関わるスタートアップ、エンジニア、投資家、事業会社の方々が気軽に集まり、交流できる場をご用意しました。

​本イベントでは、日本と海外のプレイヤーが垣根なくつながり、今後のコラボレーションにつながるような関係づくりを目的としています。ピッチや形式ばったプレゼンは最小限にし、自由な会話やディスカッションを中心とした、リラックスした雰囲気の場です。

​当日は例えば以下のようなテーマについて、自然な形で意見交換が生まれればと考えています：

• ​良いPoC（概念実証）とは何か？

• ​ロボティクス／フィジカルAIのスタートアップは、どのように事業会社の課題を解決できるか？

• ​今のエコシステムにおける課題や今後の可能性

​軽食とドリンクをご用意しつつ、数名による短いライトニングトークも予定していますが、あくまでメインは参加者同士のネットワーキングです。

​ロボティクス領域で「つくる」「支える」「投資する」など様々な立場の方とつながりたい方は、ぜひご参加ください。

​Join a curated group of robotics founders, engineers, investors, and industry partners for an informal evening of conversation and connection following SuSHi Tech.

​This event brings together both Japanese and international players in the robotics ecosystem, with a focus on building meaningful relationships and exploring opportunities for collaboration. Rather than formal pitches or presentations, the emphasis is on open discussion—sharing ideas, challenges, and perspectives across technical and business domains.

​We’ll lightly explore topics such as:

• ​What makes a strong, valuable PoC?

• ​How can robotics / physical AI startups better solve real problems for corporate partners?

• ​Where are the biggest gaps—and opportunities—in today’s ecosystem?

​Expect a relaxed atmosphere with food, drinks, and a highly engaged crowd. We may host a small number of short, informal lightning talks to spark discussion, but the core of the evening is unstructured, high-quality networking.

​If you're building, investing in, or partnering with robotics companies—and want to meet others doing the same—this is the room to be in.
