After introducing himself and tracing the history of the company he founded, Mr. Sugimoto began his presentation by examining the "Google Glass" and "Apple Watch" wearable computers that have already appeared on the market.He said that the fashionability of these products has not yet been evaluated highly. "There is a battery problem, and the size is still too large, which spoils the fashionability," he said.However, in anticipation of the emergence of a large market for wearable computers to replace smartphones in the near future, major semiconductor and fashion industries are paying a great deal of attention," he explained.He discussed the development process and future prospects of MIRAMA, a consumer wearable OS developed by Sugimoto's company.

He also noted that "computers evolve quickly, and the weak (losers) and strong (winners) in the industry are quickly replaced," and urged the students in the audience to "definitely start your own business while you are still a student.When you run a company, you make a lot of contacts, and in many cases, just because you are young, they are willing to help you.Even if you fail, you have little to lose, and you will be recognized for having taken on such a challenge while you were a student, and you will have no trouble finding a job.Great opportunities lie ahead in the computer industry.There is a good chance of great success," he stressed.
