Humanoids Summit is a leading international conference dedicated to humanoid robotics, embodied AI, and spatial intelligence. The series originated in Silicon Valley, where its annual anchor event is held at the Computer History Museum, and it has grown from approximately 1,400 participants in its first edition to about 2,000 participants representing more than 40 countries. Following a successful European edition in London in May 2025, the summit expands to Japan for the first time with Humanoids Summit Tokyo. Organized and hosted by ALM Ventures, a Silicon Valley venture capital firm focused on humanoids, embodied AI, and spatial intelligence, the summit brings together founders, researchers, industrial adopters, and investors shaping the commercialization of human-scale robots. The program features keynote presentations including Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro, executive talks from global leaders, and live demonstrations both on stage and across the exhibition floor.

KLYRD is a marketing-led branding and strategy firm purpose-built for startups driving innovation in Tech for Good — with deep expertise in AI and robotics. We partner with early-stage and scaling companies tackling complex, real-world challenges, where technology alone is not enough — and clear positioning, trust, and communication are critical to success. Our work spans marketing, branding, consulting, strategic planning, PR, and creative. More importantly, we operate as an end-to-end partner — supporting founders from initial problem definition through to market execution. From clarifying core issues and defining differentiated positioning, to crafting narratives that resonate across stakeholders, executing communications, and enabling global market expansion — we help startups move from vision to impact. Unlike traditional agencies that separate strategy and execution, KLYRD integrates both — allowing startups to move fast, stay focused, and build momentum without fragmentation. With experience across domestic and international markets, we support companies not only in gaining visibility, but in building credibility, aligning stakeholders, and scaling sustainably. We bring particular strength in supporting AI and robotics ventures — especially those operating at the edge of emerging categories — translating complex technologies into clear, compelling narratives and positioning them for global relevance. We selectively partner with startups in this space. If it resonates, feel free to reach out via DM.
