Hanamura's speech will tackle the theme, "Navigating Diverse Modalities: Innovations in Pharmaceuticals in the Value Co-Creation Era Driven by Data."

For successful societal implementation of such innovations, it is essential not only to validate the value to diverse stakeholders but also to proactively drive the transformation and establishment of existing healthcare rules and institutional environments.
