Seminar Overview

On June 11, 2026, NTT Docomo Business will host an enlightening seminar titled "Data Connectivity Strategies in Global Supply Chains", featuring Toshiyuki Hirano from the Smart World Business Department. This session will focus on the evolving landscape of data connectivity in supply chains, particularly in the context of international markets and sustainability.

Key Highlights

The seminar will delve into the European data space initiatives such as Catena-X and Manufacturing-X, which are crucial examples of collaborative data-sharing frameworks between companies. Expectations for such frameworks are high, with the potential to redefine competitive strategies rather than merely serve as compliance measures. Topics discussed will include:

1. The Change in Industrial Structures:
The need for an industry-level data ecosystem is becoming increasingly pronounced. As technology and consumer expectations evolve, businesses must adapt to sustain their market presence.

2. Introduction to Data Space Concepts:
These cooperative data-sharing concepts from Europe will be explored comprehensively. The seminar will analyze how these are implemented in practical scenarios, particularly in the manufacturing sector.

3. Sustainability and Competitive Strategy:
Participants will gain insights into how adherence to sustainability regulations, such as carbon footprint management and digital product passports, can be turned into competitive advantages.

4. Geopolitical Risks and Economic Security:
Attendees will consider how current geopolitical tensions affect supply chain data connectivity and overall economic security, emphasizing strategic foresight in data handling.

5. Integrating Generative AI with Data Connectivity:
The discussion will also encompass the impact of generative AI on future supply chain management and data sharing enhancements.

6. Future Directions for Japanese Companies:
The seminar aims not only to illuminate the current landscape but also to propose actionable strategies for Japanese firms to proactively engage with evolving trends.

7. Q&A Session:
Attendees will have an opportunity to engage with the speaker during a question-and-answer segment, as well as network through business card exchanges.
