Seminar Overview

On September 15, 2026, a notable seminar titled "Overcoming the Chasm: The Essence of Electrification and the Need for Business Transformation" will take place. The event will be held at the SSK Seminar Room in Tokyo and hosted by two distinguished speakers: Kazuyuki Iwata, who is currently the Chief Strategy Officer at REDER and a fellow at Nicomobi, as well as a former managing executive officer at Honda R&D Co., Ltd.

The seminar is designed for a diverse audience, making it accessible both in-person and via live streaming through Zoom. Attendees will also have the option to revisit the seminar through archived recordings available for two weeks after the live event.

Key Discussion Points

As global environmental regulations become increasingly stringent, the automotive industry stands at a pivotal transformation phase, anticipated only once in a century. While Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) present a promising avenue towards achieving carbon neutrality, their adoption faces significant hurdles such as high costs, limited driving range, and inadequate charging infrastructure. Companies are being compelled to rethink their strategies amidst these challenges.

This seminar will emphasize the necessity of creating added value beyond merely substituting conventional gasoline vehicles with BEVs. It will frame electric vehicles not just as transportation modes but as “moving batteries”—an integral component of society’s infrastructure. By examining advancements like Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technologies and removable battery systems, attendees will gain insights into the broader impact of electrification on mobility and its potential for social implementation.
