Neurofusion to show Valley AI and CereFin at CEATEC 2026

Neurofusion, a Seoul-based financial AI startup, will demonstrate its Valley AI investment platform and CereFin research agent at CEATEC 2026 in Chiba, Japan from October 13 to 16, 2026. The company will also appear at RAMEN TECH 2026 in Fukuoka as part of a push into the Japanese market.

The Japan appearances mark Neurofusion's first visible push outside Korea, with the company framing the trip as a scouting mission for business and partnership opportunities, according to its PRNewswire release. CEATEC, held annually in Chiba, is Japan's largest technology trade show; RAMEN TECH is a Fukuoka-based event targeting startup and investor matchmaking.

CereFin is positioned as a financial reasoning agent integrated into Valley AI. Per the company, the three modules cover the standard shape of a buy-side research workflow: a chat surface for ad-hoc questions, a workflow surface for scheduled monitoring, and a visualization surface for organizing findings. Neurofusion also cites a top rank on the September 2026 ForecastBench Preliminary Leaderboard, a public benchmark that scores models on forward-looking forecasting tasks.

The company was founded by Hans Choi, previously Lead Data Scientist at S&P Global and a hedge fund trader before that. Neurofusion has not publicly disclosed funding, customer counts, or revenue.

Why it matters

The Japan trip is the signal, not the product demo. Korean financial AI vendors have a narrow domestic market and a crowded one, and Japan is the obvious adjacent patch: large asset management base, slower-moving incumbent research stack, and a receptive buyer for AI-flavored workflow tooling. CEATEC gets Neurofusion in front of enterprise IT and corporate venture; RAMEN TECH gets it in front of early-stage investors and startup partners. Two very different rooms, same week.

On the benchmark claim, we would want to see how ForecastBench scores map to the research tasks a buy-side analyst actually runs: idea generation, earnings prep, scenario work. A leaderboard rank is a marketing asset, not a procurement answer. The harder question for Neurofusion in Japan is distribution: who resells, who integrates, and whether a Korean vendor can land a Japanese securities firm or asset manager without a local partner. Watch for named design partners out of this trip, not more benchmark numbers.
