Large screen rental for a company IPO event in Tokyo

In the fast-paced world of corporate milestones, few events carry the excitement and significance of an Initial Public Offering (IPO). Recently, LoreaTec had the privilege of supporting one such landmark occasion for a prominent company in Tokyo’s bustling Toranomon area.

Perched on the 31st floor of a sleek high-rise building, the event demanded top-tier audiovisual solutions to ensure seamless livestreaming. That’s where our expertise in commercial video and audio installations came into play—we set up two large monitors and set up livestreaming equipment.

The venue on the 31st floor offered stunning panoramic views of Tokyo’s skyline, but it also presented unique challenges: limited space, the need for non-invasive installations, and the requirement for crystal-clear visuals to broadcast the IPO proceedings live.

We delivered two 75inch screens, each configured for optimal performance. the screens stood securely on adjustable bases that distributed weight evenly, preventing any tipping risks. We also worked with the venue network team to register the mac addresses and ensure a fast connection and avoid any dropped frames during the livestream.

Connected via robust network solutions, the screens handled real-time feeds from the IPO announcement, including stock ticker updates, executive speeches, and interactive Q&A sessions.

Our team of field engineers handled everything from delivery and setup to on-site support, ensuring zero downtime during the event. This “support as a service” model meant the client didn’t have to worry about long-term rentals, equipment management, or technical glitches—allowing them to focus on the excitement of going public.

LoreaTec supports Red Bull event in Tokyo

In the heart of Tokyo, where innovation meets culture, the Red Bull Basement event has taken a leap forward in setting up a visually immersive environment for its participants. This year, the event, known for empowering young innovators, featured two key venues in Tokyo: Tokyo Node and Togo Kinenkan in Shibuya. We supported both locations with 4K 75-inch monitors. This service was completed through our audiovisual division vision-led.jp.

Tokyo Node: A Hub of Technological Exploration

Tokyo Node, known for its focus on digital creativity and innovation, saw the integration of these large monitors as a game-changer for the event. Located in the top floors of a new skyscraper, this venue was chosen for its modern facilities that resonate with the tech-savvy crowd Red Bull Basement attracts.

TOGO KINENKAN: Tradition Meets Modernity

At TOGO KINENKAN, a venue that offers a serene backdrop with its lush gardens and historical significance, the introduction of a 75-inch monitor brought a modern twist to this traditional setting.

Impact on the Event

The provision of 75-inch monitors at both venues significantly enhanced the event’s atmosphere, making it more interactive and visually stimulating.

  • For attendees, the large screens ensured that every detail was visible, from the intricacies of a prototype to the nuances of a pitch, enhancing the overall experience.
  • The visual impact of these monitors helped in creating memorable moments, both for those present and for the event’s digital footprint, which was shared across social media and event recaps.

Interview with Roy from HardenedLinux

I had the pleasure to chat with Roy, a very experienced programmer that has recently moved to Japan. I think that you will enjoy and get some value from our short discussion.

– Please give us a quick introduction about yourself

My name is Mu Lei (Roy) aka NalaGinrut. Chinese. I came to Japan in March 2024. I found liked this country very much, and I plan to stay and live my life here. I have been a software engineer for 12 years, and founded two companies. Now I’m working as an opensource independent consultant in Japan.

– Why did you decide to come to Japan? Do you mostly work with Japanese companies or your customers are overseas?

I had Japanese customers when I during my first startup company selling IoT product. I got my biggest order from a Japanese customer at that time. So I have a good impression on Japanese companies and their purchasing power.

After the trade war and covid-19, I found it’s hard to do business with overseas customers from China. Almost all my previous experience and skills are for the global market, So I decided to come to Japan to find new opportunities. My main focus is on opensource infrastructure around Linux ecosystem. At least in Asia, Japan is the best choice for me to recognize the latest technology trends and meet my interest in infrastructure. Although Europe is also a good choice for the purpose, I think the Japanese culture is similar to Chinese culture, so I can adapt to it more easily.

– Have you contributed to any open source projects and what have you learned in those projects?

I’ve been contributing to several opensource projects in the long term, include HardenedLinux and GNU. I’m the maintainer of GNU Artanis (https://artanis.dev) which is a Web framework written in Guile Scheme since 2013. If anyone is interested both functional programming and web development, I recommend you try it. The design is largely inspired from Ruby on Rails.

Except for coding, I also contribute to documented best practices. I and my friends are maintaining an AI-infra project on Github (https://github.com/hardenedlinux/ai-infra), the aim is to help people to build their own AI infrastructures based on consumer-grade hardware. The reader who is interested in AI infrastructure can play with it and give us feedback.

I’m also the invited expert of W3C PING that help to review the privacy concerns in W3C specifications.

I’ve learned many things from opensource projects, including coding, design, testing, and documentation. But the most important thing I’ve learned is how to communicate with others. It’s not easy to make everyone happy, but it’s important to make everyone understand what you are doing and why you are doing it.

– What fields in IT do you enjoy working on the most and why is that?

I enjoy working on opensource infrastructure around Linux ecosystem. There’s great joy to me in building something foundation that can be relied on by others. And I like to research on the low-level stuff like OS kernel, framework, and compiler to figure out how does it work, and what could be optimized. I’m also interested in AI, it’s a hot topic in the IT field. I’m trying to combine AI with opensource infrastructure to make it more powerful, and help everyone could build their own AI system in lower cost.

– Any advice for young engineers that want to get into IT (similar fields are you described above) or that want to come to Japan

I would say not only young engineers, but also every people who is interested in IT no matter what age they are.

For them, I strongly recommend to find an interesting opensource project and stick with it for years. Making long term contributions to opensource projects is a very worthwhile endeavor. You will have de-facto mentors from seasoned engineers, add your patches or comments as contributions, and you will get reputation when people can rely on you. You can make friends and practice you English, the least but not last, it’s all free of charge, but you have to invest your time and energy.


I hope you enjoyed. For further discussions you may reach Roy on this email NalaGinrut(at)hardenedlinux(dot)org Replace the brackets with the proper at mark and dot simbols.
