AI, Automation, Talent, and Resilient Growth in a Fragmented World
Japan has long built its global competitiveness on quality, engineering excellence, innovation, and operational discipline. But the next era of competition will demand a broader set of capabilities. AI and automation are reshaping productivity and cost structures, talent constraints are forcing new workforce models, supply chains are being redesigned for resilience, and geopolitical uncertainty is changing where and how companies build, source, innovate, and compete.
This executive roundtable will explore how Japanese enterprises can translate their traditional strengths into new sources of global advantage — combining AI-enabled productivity, faster innovation, more adaptive workforce strategies, competitive cost structures, and resilient global operating models
At the center of the discussion is a critical question: How can Japan remain globally competitive as technology, cost, talent, supply chains, and geopolitics simultaneously rewrite the rules of business?
