2025 R&D Innovation Summit (Tokyo): The Future of Research and Development Driven by AI and DX

2025 R&D Innovation Summit | The Future of Research and Development Driven by AI and DX: Transforming the Strengths of Japanese Companies with Cutting-Edge Global Technologies

Japanese companies are facing a new wave of transformation with the evolution of AI technology.

For many years, Japan has been recognized worldwide as a country that produces high-quality, innovative products. However, in recent years, there are concerns that Japan’s competitive advantage may be fluctuating due to issues such as longer development periods, technology succession, and a shortage of human resources. One of the reasons for this is that competitors in the global market are incorporating AI and DX, transforming their research and development processes at an unprecedented speed and increasing their competitiveness. How do Japanese companies need to think, decide, and act in order to ride the wave of this era and transform themselves?

This year’s R&D Innovation Summit will explore how advances in AI will affect digital transformation in science and technology research and development in the future, with the theme of “Innovating the strengths of Japanese companies with cutting-edge global technology,” and will deepen insights into its optimal implementation. In addition, from the perspective of leadership and strategy formulation for organizational transformation, we will introduce change management for successful R&D transformation and examples of AI use in the research and development field.

Please join us for this valuable opportunity to discuss concrete strategies to combine Japan’s proud manufacturing spirit and craftsmanship with cutting-edge AI technology to once again enhance our advantage in the global market.
