[SSK Seminar]

We are pleased to announce a seminar titled "The Current Status and Next Steps for Industrial Data Spaces: Overseas Trends Including Europe and Japan's Winning Strategies," featuring Mr. Naohiko Irie from the Digital Service Business Unit of Hitachi, Ltd.

In recent years, while the implementation and operation of "Industrial Data Spaces" are progressing, led by initiatives like Catena-X in Europe, domestic efforts in Japan are also gaining momentum for social implementation. This lecture, from the perspective of Mr. Irie, who has engaged in discussions with various stakeholders in major domestic organizations such as the Robot Revolution and Industrial IoT Initiative Council and Keidanren, will unravel the global trends and Japan's "current position." Specifically, it will provide a detailed explanation of approaches for transitioning to the crucial "scaling phase," including fostering private-led momentum, public-private collaboration, and AI utilization. This will offer insights into the "next steps" and "winning strategies" for Japanese companies to leverage their strengths and build valuable data ecosystems.
