2025年、生成AIの活用は、AIアシスタントからAIエージェントが自律的に行動する段階へと進化し、エージェンティックAIの本格的な普及の兆しが見え始めています。今後、企業にとってAIは単なる業務効率化の手段ではなく、事業戦略やビジネスモデルそのものを再定義する原動力となり、AIの導入が一層加速していくとIDCはみています。その実現を支えるのが柔軟でスケーラブル、かつ信頼性と持続可能性を兼ね備えた次世代デジタルインフラであり、「AI時代のビジネス基盤」として、AI対応に向けたインフラ改革が強く求められています。
本イベント「IDC AI Infrastructure Forum 2026, Japan」(第2回 AIインフラフォーラム)では、エージェンティックAIを中心とする新たな潮流と、それを支える次世代インフラ戦略に焦点を当てます。IDCの最新調査とアナリストによる提言、主要ベンダー/サービスプロバイダー様の最新ソリューションや導入事例のプレゼンテーションと展示により、国内エンドユーザー企業様へデジタルインフラ改革の基本的な考え方と具体的な実践の道筋を提示します。
Japan’s enterprises are entering a once-in-a-generation shift. Generative AI is accelerating, and autonomous “agentic” AI systems are emerging as core engines of business value. These agents don’t just automate tasks—they reason, collaborate, and act. They require infrastructure that is far more scalable, intelligent, and resilient than anything we have built before.
IDC forecasts that Japan’s AI-ready infrastructure market will reach ¥653 billion by 2029, while edge computing grows 13.3% CAGR to support real-time decisioning in manufacturing, retail, finance, and the public sector. The Asia-Pacific region is projected to invest USD 175 billion in AI and GenAI by 2028, underscoring the scale of transformation now underway.
The question for Japan’s leaders is no longer “Should we adopt AI?” but “How do we build the infrastructure to lead through AI?”
Join us as we define the next phase of Japan’s digital transformation—and build the infrastructure that will power the agentic AI era.
