On 5 March 2026, Evercomm was honoured to attend the Japanese Corporates Technology Innovation Launchpad Networking Event 2026 (March Edition) at the Residence of the Ambassador of Japan in Singapore, in a gathering that celebrated both innovation and a historic milestone — the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Singapore.

Representing Evercomm, Peter, Deputy CEO, joined Japanese corporates, Singapore enterprises, and ecosystem innovators for an afternoon designed not just to showcase technology — but to explore how partnerships can turn advanced R&D into tangible outcomes in-market.

A launchpad built for co-creation

What stood out was the event’s clear intent: move beyond introductions into co-creation. The session brought together technology providers and potential adopters in a setting that encouraged practical conversations — the kind that typically mark the first step toward pilots, joint development, and longer-term collaborations.

The technologies presented by leading Japanese corporates demonstrated both depth and diversity, including innovations in materials, sensing, electronics, optimisation, and environmental performance. Highlights included:

• Bando — Passive radiative cooling film for heat reduction

• Murata — Stretchable printed circuits for electronic applications

• Mitsui Chemicals — Smart polymers and copolymers for surface modification

• Nisshinbo — High-speed combinatorial optimisation platform with FPGA

• Nitto Denko — Flexible sensor for accurate, drift-free motion tracking

• Panasonic — Spatial sensing and modelling technology

• Ricoh — Spectrometry-based electronic nose for odour mapping and analysis

• Toyo Seikan — Polymer products with enhanced antimicrobial properties using silver nanoparticles

Across these showcases, the shared theme was clear: innovation is ready — now it needs the right partners, pathways, and proof-of-impact to scale.

Why this matters to Evercomm

At Evercomm, we believe sustainability and competitiveness don’t have to be trade-offs. Our mission is to help organisations make sustainability real — through trusted data, credible measurement, and actionable pathways that lead from ambition to implementation.

Events like the JCTI Launchpad matter because they create the conditions for something we see repeatedly in industry:
technology becomes valuable when it is measurable, financeable, and operationally adoptable.

That “bridge” between innovation and adoption is also where Evercomm is built to contribute — helping businesses establish reliable baselines, identify practical efficiency gains, and support credible reporting aligned with recognised standards.

From showcase to deployment: the next chapter is collaboration

Many of the technologies presented have strong potential applications across Singapore and the region — particularly in areas like energy efficiency, industrial optimisation, smart monitoring, and materials innovation.

For the ecosystem, the next step is the most important one: turning promising demonstrations into real deployments through:

• the right problem statements,

• the right industry partners,

• clear success metrics, and

• the operational groundwork needed to implement at scale.

The networking segment was especially valuable here — enabling direct dialogue between technology owners and local enterprises that can help validate use cases and bring innovations into real environments.

Looking ahead

Evercomm thanks IPI Singapore and the event organisers for creating a platform that supports meaningful cross-border collaboration and practical co-creation.

As Singapore and Japan deepen ties through this milestone year, we look forward to continuing conversations with Japanese corporates, local enterprises, and ecosystem partners who are exploring technology partnerships — especially those aimed at building resilient, future-ready operations.

If you’re exploring co-creation opportunities, or looking to bring advanced technology into real industrial use cases, we welcome a conversation.
