The International Business Connection Organization, which supports the overseas expansion of Japanese companies through 'knowledge, network, and opportunity,' is pleased to announce that its Director, Naoyuki Ueda, will speak at the 8-company joint online conference titled 'Breaking the Limits of Partial Optimization! The Next-Generation Roadmap for EC Growth to Maximize Profit,' starting June 1, 2026.

### Seminar Overview In this conference, eight professional companies from various fields will gather to provide a thorough explanation of the 'growth strategy to lead from launch to 10 billion yen in sales' based on the latest EC industry trends in 2026. The program is packed with actionable growth measures, including churn prevention from a user perspective, switching to 'Gift EC' to increase profit margins, data analysis using AI, and PR/branding strategies that have led numerous D2C brands to success. Our organization will present in Part 4, explaining support for corporate scaling through 'overseas expansion (such as live commerce).'

### Background of the Seminar In recent years, with rising CPA and intensifying price competition within malls, it has become difficult to retain profits through partial improvements alone. Many operators face challenges where overall EC sales and profits are sluggish despite taking various measures. To break through this sense of stagnation in the domestic EC market and achieve further scaling of sales and profits, eight leaders in the EC industry have collaborated to release this 'Next-Generation Roadmap' for overall optimization.
