Will Smart CEO Yasuhiro Ishii to Host 'Mobility DX' Webinar on June 17

In response to feedback from regional transportation operators who struggle to find partners to support their adoption of IoT and AI, Will Smart (Koto-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yasuhiro Ishii) will host a webinar on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, featuring CEO Yasuhiro Ishii.

From bus terminal control to EV car-sharing, public ride-sharing, and the next-generation digital tachograph 'Will-Fleet,' the CEO himself will fully disclose the technical achievements and the proprietary 'Goal-oriented co-creation approach' developed through work on regional transportation sites. This practical, interactive webinar allows participants to feel as though they are consulting directly with an expert. Media representatives are also welcome to attend.

Background Regional transport infrastructure is at a structural turning point. With driver shortages and fiscal pressure, alongside simultaneous changes in systems and technology—such as EV adoption, deregulation of ride-sharing, and mandatory digital tachographs—many operators across Japan are eager to change but lack partners to answer the question of where to start.

Will Smart has promoted the social implementation of IoT solutions for over a decade in transportation, logistics, tourism, and community development, with a mid-term vision toward 2030 of 'realizing a mobility society in regional areas.' CEO Ishii felt that the company's field-based achievements and technical philosophy were not reaching the industry sufficiently and planned this webinar. It is conducted with the conviction that 'if we talk directly, something will move.' The event will also touch on AI-driven development, a method for quickly building prototypes using AI.
