Moving beyond the traditional role of an international conference where experts merely exchange ideas, CYDEF2026 will evolve into a genuine international innovation platform that transforms dialogue into action, ideas into implementation, and collaboration into real-world impact.<\/p>\n<p>By bringing together governments, military organizations, research institutes, universities, industry leaders, and\u2014for the first time\u2014innovative startups from around the world, CYDEF2026 will create an ecosystem where global challenges meet breakthrough technologies. A major new initiative, Challenge Matching, will debut at CYDEF2026. This program will connect the pressing Needs of governments, critical infrastructure operators, and industry with the innovative Seeds developed by startups, researchers, and engineers.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than simply discussing cybersecurity challenges, Challenge Matching aims to accelerate technology adoption, collaborative research, public-private partnerships, and the creation of new businesses that strengthen national resilience in the AI era. Through this initiative, CYDEF becomes far more than an international conference.<\/p>\n<p>It becomes a global platform that unites government, academia, industry, and startups to accelerate innovation, foster international collaboration, and transform cutting-edge technologies into practical solutions for society. In advance of the conference, OCDI will officially launch sponsorship opportunities on 13 July 2026, together with an international competition to select the official symbol mark representing the conference theme.<\/p>\n<h2>Conference Theme: National Resilience in the age of AI<\/h2>\n<p>Artificial Intelligence, quantum technologies, big data, and other emerging technologies are fundamentally reshaping societies, economies, and national security. At the same time, geopolitical instability\u2014including the war in Ukraine, the evolving situation in the Middle East, and tensions across the Taiwan Strait\u2014demonstrates that modern conflict now extends beyond the traditional domains of land, sea, and air into cyberspace, the information domain, and outer space.<\/p>\n<p><strong>National Resilience in the Age of AI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Participants will examine how technological innovation, evolving security environments, and international cooperation can strengthen the resilience of nations and societies.<\/p>\n<h2>Four Reasons to Attend CYDEF2026<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Understand Today&#8217;s Security Challenges<\/h3>\n<p>Gain first-hand insights from leading experts and practitioners working on the front lines of today&#8217;s most significant security challenges, including Ukraine, the Middle East, and the Taiwan Strait.<\/p>\n<p>Learn how their experiences and lessons can strengthen resilience in Japan and across the Indo-Pacific.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Explore Tomorrow&#8217;s Technologies<\/h3>\n<p>Discover the latest developments in Generative AI, quantum technologies, big data, cybersecurity, and other emerging technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Discussions will explore both the transformative opportunities and the strategic risks these technologies present for governments, industry, and society.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Experience Crisis Management in Practice<\/h3>\n<p>CYDEF2026 goes beyond lectures.<\/p>\n<p>Participants will engage in practical workshops organized by NATO-related institutions and international experts, together with tabletop exercises (TTX) focusing on the protection of critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>These exercises will simulate complex crises involving cyberattacks, natural disasters, supply chain disruptions, and information operations, providing participants with practical skills for real-world crisis response.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Shape the Future Together<\/h3>\n<p>CYDEF2026 will bring together governments, research institutes, universities, and companies from Europe, North America, and the Indo-Pacific.<\/p>\n<p>The conference aims to produce the Tokyo Declaration, outlining future directions for international cooperation in cyber defense, security research, and workforce development.<\/p>\n<p>CYDEF also seeks to establish long-term partnerships among governments, academia, and industry to build a sustainable international ecosystem for innovation.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Program Highlights (Currently Being Finalized)<\/h2>\n<h3>Keynote Addresses<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\u30fbCyber Warfare in Ukraine<\/li>\n<li>\u30fbNational Resilience in the Middle East<\/li>\n<li>\u30fbSecurity Challenges across the Taiwan Strait<\/li>\n<li>\u30fbThe Frontiers of AI and Quantum Technologies<\/li>\n<li>\u30fbSecurity in the Indo-Pacific<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Panel Discussions<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\u30fbAI and National Security<\/li>\n<li>\u30fbCyber Operations in Modern Warfare<\/li>\n<li>\u30fbCognitive and Information Warfare<\/li>\n<li>\u30fbSpace Security<\/li>\n<li>\u30fbEconomic Security and Supply Chain Resilience<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>International Workshops<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\u30fbNATO Workshop<\/li>\n<li>\u30fbInternational Cyber Law<\/li>\n<li>\u30fbCounterintelligence<\/li>\n<li>\u30fbSecurity Challenges in the AI Era\/li>\n<li>\u30fbDeveloping the Next Generation of Cyber Professionals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Policy Workshops<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\u30fbCritical Infrastructure Protection<\/li>\n<li>\u30fbEnergy Security<\/li>\n<li>\u30fbDisaster Preparedness and Crisis Management<\/li>\n<li>\u30fbPublic-Private Cooperation for National Resilience<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Critical Infrastructure Protection Tabletop Exercise (TTX)<\/h3>\n<p>A practical multinational exercise simulating cyberattacks, natural disasters, supply chain disruptions, and information operations.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \u25bc\u30d0\u30fc\u2461\u300cCYDEF2026\u306b\u3064\u3044\u3066\u300d\u306e\u98db\u3073\u5148\u30a2\u30f3\u30ab\u30fc --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cydef-outline\">Conference Overview<\/h2>\n<table class=\"cydef-outline-table\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Conference<\/th>\n<td>CYDEF2026 (International Conference on Cyber Defense Innovation 2026)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Theme<\/th>\n<td>National Resilience in the Age of AI<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Dates<\/th>\n<td>9\u201310 December 2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Venue<\/th>\n<td>Iino Hall &#038; Conference Center, Tokyo, Japan<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Speakers<\/th>\n<td>Approximately 50 distinguished speakers from governments, military organizations, academia, and industry worldwide<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Participants<\/th>\n<td>Approximately 1,000 attendees<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Organizer<\/th>\n<td>Organization for Cyber Defense Innovation (OCDI)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Call for Sponsors<\/h2>\n<p>CYDEF2026 invites corporations and organizations that share our vision of strengthening national resilience in the AI era to become official sponsors.<\/p>\n<p>The conference provides an exceptional opportunity to showcase your organization before an international audience of government officials, critical infrastructure operators, defense and cybersecurity professionals, universities, research institutes, and international organizations.

It aims to deepen and broaden understanding of these objectives through discussions.<\/div>\n<div class=\"text\">\n<p>Since its inaugural meeting in 2018, CYDEF has consistently grown, attracting approximately 400 speakers and 6500 audience members over the past eight years.<\/p>\n<p>Now in its ninth year, CYDEF2026 marks a significant shift in approach. Whereas session organization had previously been delegated to individual research institutes, this year we adopted a new direction: a program panel composed primarily of representatives from relevant ministries directly reviewed and selected the session themes. As a result, the program has evolved into a more practice-oriented forum that connects policy, research, and frontline operational realities.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward, we aim to position CYDEF as a key hub for collaboration between industry, government and academia, both domestically and internationally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-144\" src=\"https:\/\/2025.cydef.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/page_cydef2024_pic_w800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2026.cydef.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/page_cydef2024_pic_w800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/2026.cydef.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/page_cydef2024_pic_w800-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/2026.cydef.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/page_cydef2024_pic_w800-768x430.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col\">\n<h3 class=\"contents_vertical_title\">Conference Features<\/h3>\n<div class=\"contents_vertical_area\">\n<div class=\"subtitle\">Invitation of experts from all over the world<\/div>\n<div class=\"text\">\n<p>As in previous years, we will invite distinguished figures in the field of cyber defense innovation, including government ministers, cyber ambassadors, cyber commanders, university researchers and corporate executives from various countries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-145\" src=\"https:\/\/2026.cydef.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2025_day01.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"375\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"subtitle\" style=\"margin-top: 1.4em;\">Facilitating understanding through simultaneous Japanese-English subtitles<\/div>\n<div class=\"text\">\n<p>To assist those who are not proficient in Japanese, simultaneous Japanese-English subtitles are provided, enabling participants to follow the proceedings by listening to expert discussions that have been appropriately translated, including those on specialized fields.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-283\" src=\"https:\/\/2025.cydef.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/img_cf2_03.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2026.cydef.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/img_cf2_03.png 421w, https:\/\/2026.cydef.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/img_cf2_03-300x171.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 421px) 100vw, 421px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"committee\">CYDEF2026 Executive Committee<\/h2>\n<h3>Conference Chair<\/h3>\n<p>Dr. HASHIMOTO Masahiro Professor Emeritus, Institute of Science Tokyo<\/p>\n<h3><span lang=\"EN-US\">Executive Committee Chair<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Eng. \/ MG.(ret) TOKITO Kazuo (Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF))<\/p>\n<h3>Committee Members<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"committee\">\n<li>YAMAUCHI Tomoo (Advisor, LAC Co., Ltd.; Former Chief Cybersecurity Officer \/ Chief Information Security Officer, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications)<\/li>\n<li>Dr. SASAKI Takahiro \u3000Rear Admiral, JMSDF(ret.),Visiting professor Hiroshima University<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h3>Program Panel Chair<\/h3>\n<p>Dr. FUJISUE Kenzo (Advisor: Project Professor, Keio University; Associate Director, MIT Center for Advanced Medical Systems (CAMS))<\/p>\n<h3>Program Panel Member<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"committee\">\n<li>Dr. James Lewis\u3000Distinguished Fellow, Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) and Senior Advisor Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS)<\/li>\n<li>Dr. Jason Vogt, Cyber and Innovation Policy Institute, U.S. Naval War College<\/li>\n<li>Dr. Chris Demchak, Grace Murray Hopper Chair of Cyber Security, U.S. Naval War College<\/li>\n<li>Dr. Jason Brown\u3000US Army Cyber Institute<\/li>\n<li>Dr. Didier Danet Associate Researcher, French GEODE Center<\/li>\n<li>DRs.
