    KEYNOTE ADDRESS
    The Intelligence Advantage: Competing in an Era of Geopolitical Uncertainty

    地政学的緊張、経済安全保障、サプライチェーンの再編、世界貿易の動向変化により、企業の競争環境は再定義されています。日本企業が複雑化する国際情勢に対応する中で、変化を予測し適切な意思決定を行う能力は不可欠な競合優位性となります。本講演では、戦略的インテリジェンスや信頼できる情報、事業の透明性向上が、不確実性の管理やレジリエンスの強化、持続可能な成長の促進にどう役立つかを模索します。
    Geopolitical tensions, economic security, supply chain realignment and shifting global trade dynamics are redefining how businesses compete. As Japanese organisations navigate an increasingly complex international landscape, the ability to anticipate change and make informed decisions has become a critical competitive advantage. This keynote explores how strategic intelligence, trusted information and greater business visibility can help organisations manage uncertainty, strengthen resilience and unlock sustainable growth.

    生成AIの先へ:信頼されるインテリジェント・エンタープライズの構築
    Beyond Generative AI: Building Intelligent Enterprises That People Can Trust

    多くの企業がAIの実証実験段階を終え、組織全体での本格導入へと移行しています。成功の鍵は、AIと高品質なデータ、有効なガバナンス、そして人間の監督をいかに組み合わせるかにかかっています。本セッションでは、組織全体での透明性・説明責任・信頼を維持しながら、AIを測定可能なビジネス価値に変換する方法を議論します。
    Many organisations have moved beyond AI experimentation and are now focused on scaling enterprise-wide adoption. Success increasingly depends on combining AI with high-quality data, effective governance and human oversight. This conversation explores how leading organisations are transforming AI into measurable business value while maintaining transparency, accountability and trust across the enterprise.

    Companies today are managing an increasingly interconnected range of risks across their customers, suppliers and business partners. Changes in financial conditions, supply chains, regulation and geopolitical developments can quickly affect business relationships and operations. In this session, speakers will share how their organisations identify and respond to emerging risks across their business ecosystems. The discussion will explore how trusted information, greater visibility and timely risk signals can help organisations make better-informed decisions about customers and suppliers, strengthen resilience and pursue growth with greater confidence.
