Unlocking the Future of Business Foundations at SAP NOW AI Tour Tokyo 2026

Exploring Next-Generation Business Foundations at SAP NOW AI Tour Tokyo

On July 29, 2026, IPS Corporation will take center stage at the much-anticipated SAP NOW AI Tour in Tokyo. Co-hosted with industry experts, the session titled "The Next Business Foundation After ERP and SAP Solutions: Insights from Three Leaders on AI, Management, and ERP" aims to redefine the business landscape in the era of generative AI.

With the rapid advancements in generative AI technologies, businesses are undergoing profound transformations, adopting innovative practices where AI supports learning, decision-making, and output generation. This transition necessitates a reevaluation of how organizations define their foundational structures and the roles of human talent within them.

The seminar will feature a panel discussion moderated by renowned freelance announcer Miho Sakai, who previously appeared on NHK BS’s "International Report". She will facilitate conversations among three industry pioneers: Tomoharu Yako, CEO of INDUSTRIAL-X, Katsumi Ogawa, Chairman of Activation Strategy, and Hiroshi Akamatsu, President of IPS. Each will bring unique perspectives on how AI is reshaping business operations and the expectations placed on organizations and their workforce.

The conversation will dive into various topics, including the expansion of roles driven by AI, how these shifts impact workforce dynamics, and the optimization of output quality through SAP solutions. Attendees, particularly executives and strategic planners, can expect valuable insights that will inform their future decision-making processes as they navigate the complexities of strengthening their organizational foundations.
