Japan Creative Centre (JCC)

One of the biggest differences and key between today and yesterday is speed. During the past, innovations and changes were brought and measured on the order of centuries. Now, it is only a matter of decades or even in just a few years. This rapid pace of innovation was mainly attributed to the drive of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics and Internet of Things (IoT). Being in the middle of such age of disruptive and ever-changing innovation that will change the very structure of our industries, have you ever wondered how individuals and organisations can prepare and adapt for such changes and the coming yet-to-be-seen era of digital economy?

For this lecture, Mr Keiichi Tanaka, CEO and CIO of Nippon Jimuki Co., Ltd., will speak about the need of preparing ourselves to act the necessary role in this coming era of digital economy, and at the same time, introduce some of the things their company has done so far to prepare for this change. Be sure to join us at Japan Creative Centre (JCC), Embassy of Japan, for this intriguing talk!
