How to Accelerate Innovation: Leveraging Japanese Industrial Clusters

Dear member,

Traditionally, the Japanese innovation ecosystem was largely confined in the domestic sphere, because of the existence of the closed supply chain network represented by “Keiretsu”.
However, along with the accelerated offshoring by the Japanese final assemblers, traditional “Keiretsu” supply chain system is now unwinding and opportunities for tapping into high-quality Japanese SME’s are now emerging from outside of Japan.

In this presentation, the speaker will touch on the current status of the Japanese industry clusters, and the reason why they are remaining competitive now, providing opportunities for global high-end manufacturing demand. Several case studies of innovation through matching several layers of players over different industry clusters will also be discussed.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about the Japanese innovation ecosystem first-hand from an insider’s point of view!
A networking session with food and drinks will be held after the presentation to let you exchange ideas with the speaker and the participants.
