On September 29, 2026, New Networks will host a seminar titled "Transforming Corporate R&D Strategies for Enhanced Corporate Value," which promises to deliver crucial insights into the evolving role of corporate research and development in today's economy. Led by Toru Takahashi, representative director of New Networks, this seminar aims to shed light on how R&D can pivot from merely developing technologies to shaping future corporate value through innovative strategies.
Seminar Overview
The modern economic landscape is shifting towards an "Expectation-Based Economy," where the formation of corporate value is no longer solely reliant on current profits but also on the anticipated future cash flows. The advancements in technology have blurred traditional industry boundaries, creating an "Ecosystem Market" where cross-industry collaborations unlock new value creation opportunities. In this context, corporate R&D must redefine its objectives—transitioning from a technical development unit to a strategic envisioning team that predicts and shapes corporate value in the future.

The seminar will take place in SSK Seminar Room located at 2-6-2 Nishi-Shimbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, on September 29, 2026, from 10 AM to 12 PM JST. Participants can join in person or opt for live streaming via Zoom, with the added convenience of two-week archive access for later viewing.
