The AI interpretation service "CoeFont Interpretation" provided by Coefont Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Shogo Hayakawa; hereinafter "the Company") was adopted as the simultaneous interpretation service for the international conference "Mobility Conference - Business Leaders Forum 2026" hosted by the French Chamber of Commerce in Japan (CCI France-Japan) in collaboration with the French Embassy in Japan, held on Tuesday, May 26, 2026.

The conference, held in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, was the 9th international conference in the mobility field. This year's theme was "Building trust in the future mobility: safety, autonomy, and resilient supply chains." Speakers gathered from leading companies in the Japanese-French mobility industry, including Nissan, Here, Valeo, Toyota Tsusho, and Honda Innovations. The special guest was Jean Todt, former President of the International Automobile Federation (FIA) and UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy for Road Safety.

CoeFont Interpretation provided simultaneous interpretation services in English and Japanese for the entire program. Attendees could access interpretation audio and subtitles via a dedicated URL on their smartphones, allowing them to receive the speakers' speeches in real time in their own language without additional equipment.

Background of Adoption

The "Mobility Conference - Business Leaders Forum" has been held continuously for the past eight years as a venue where leaders, engineers, and policymakers from the Japanese-French mobility industry gather. This year, it sold out, indicating high interest within the industry.

At international conferences, where English and Japanese are mixed, creating an environment where all participants can accurately understand discussions in their native language is crucial for the quality of dialogue and decision-making speed. This conference adopted CoeFont Interpretation due to its user experience (easy access via smartphone) and its technology that supports real-time simultaneous interpretation between English and Japanese.

At the International Conference with UN Special Envoy Jean Todt

Jean Todt, the special guest of this conference, has long been a leader in international mobility and road safety as the UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy for Road Safety, former President of the FIA, and former CEO of Ferrari.

The adoption of CoeFont Interpretation in the most demanding environment for language accuracy and immediacy—real-time simultaneous interpretation at an international conference gathering international dignitaries and executives from top Japanese and French companies—demonstrates that our AI interpretation technology has reached a practical level for international business scenes.
