■Session
"AI Global Frontier: Accelerating Infrastructure Competition and the Mindset of Next-Generation Leaders"

[Powered by IVS]

As AI fundamentally reshapes the business landscape, the world is embroiled in unprecedented competition for a new infrastructure: computing resources. In the midst of this major shift, how can Japanese companies forge their own unique position and seize the next opportunity to win?

To ride the waves, you need not just technical knowledge, but an updated perspective—the ability to confront the "reality" happening in the world and connect it to your own business.

This session will bring together frontrunners operating world-leading GPU data centers and leaders driving AI implementation in Japan. Incorporating perspectives from global investors, the discussion will cover everything from the "physical forefront" of computing resources to the "transformation of thinking and business" brought about by AI. The session will present the "winning strategy" Japan should pursue once its infrastructure is in place, and the attitudes and strategic perspectives that next-generation leaders should possess.

"Female Leaders Navigating an Era of Transformation: How AI is Changing Society and Leadership"


As AI drives a global transformation of social structures, this session brings together female leaders from diverse backgrounds—policy, investment, entrepreneurship, and AI implementation—who are actually "driving" AI, to discuss leadership and decision-making in the age of AI from multiple perspectives.

This event will go beyond mere technological trends, focusing on how AI will be implemented in society and the decision-making processes behind its use, including the underlying perspectives and decision-making processes. Drawing on practical examples from various countries and fields, the event will delve into how the spread of AI is changing the work environment, decision-making processes, and organizational structures, as well as how AI is lowering barriers to entry for female leaders and creating new opportunities and value. With an AI startup CEO as the moderator, the event will explore the role and potential of female leaders in the AI era through discussions that connect policy-level concepts, investment and capital perspectives, and on-the-ground implementation.

*This session will be available for on-demand viewing approximately two hours after it takes place.
