Industry Leaders Discuss 'AI x Requirement Definition' Case Studies: Program for Hall B of 'AI Requirement Definition Summit 2026' Released

ROUTE06, Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takashi Endo), provider of the AI requirement definition tool 'Acsim,' will hold the 'AI Requirement Definition Summit 2026: The Future of System Design in Japan, a Nation of Customization, Supported by AI Requirement Definition' on Thursday, June 11, 2026, at TODA HALL & CONFERENCE TOKYO. This summit serves as a venue for industry-leading speakers and practitioners to gather under the theme of AI utilization in requirement definition. Approximately 1,000 attendees, including IT/DX department members from business corporations, SIers, and engineers/product stakeholders from SaaS companies, will discuss strategies to convert the 'on-site strength'—a key advantage of Japanese companies—into competitive power using AI. Among the lectures held across three venues (Halls A, B, and C), the timetable and content for Hall B, where industry-leading companies will share practical on-site knowledge, have been released. Historically, Japanese companies have created unique value by intricately weaving on-site wisdom into operations and meticulously crafting systems. At the heart of this was precise customization tailored to actual on-site conditions. This accumulation fostered operational excellence, where the work itself became a source of differentiation, supporting the competitiveness of Japanese firms. However, in recent years, the idea that 'standardization is justice' and 'customization equals inefficiency' has gained traction. While challenges like labor shortages and technical debt are real, abandoning customization—a Japanese strength—could lead to a loss of competitiveness. What is needed moving forward is not to stop customization, but to evolve into a 'structure that allows for strategic customization.' The key to this is 'requirement definition,' which involves verbalizing business needs and translating them into design. For years, this area has been plagued by 'personalization,' relying on experience and intuition. However, with recent advancements in AI, the possibility of structuring, sharing, and utilizing knowledge in requirement definition is expanding. At this event, IT/DX departments, SIers, and SaaS engineers will gather to discuss from a practical perspective how to transform on-site wisdom into design using AI.
