2022 French Japanese Business Summit: Key Takeaway Videos
An exclusive series of video interviews
On November 29th, over 800 participants attended the 5th edition of the French Japanese Business Summit titled “Japan as a model for the future - What learnings can be relevant for the world?”, after a series of successful sectorial conferences held throughout the year (on Energy, Healthcare, Space, Mobility...)
This edition was held in a hybrid format that live-streamed keynotes and plenary discussions featuring over 30 top-level speakers. The participants heard from ISHIBA Shigeru, BAN Shigeru, Christophe WEBER, and many other experts, high level government officials and top-level executives from major companies on the following topics:
• REWARDS OF TRANSFORMATION
• NEW ENGINES FOR GROWTH
• A NATION OF EXCELLENCY, CREATIVITY & CULTURE
• THE FUTURE OF WORK
• A NATION OF INNOVATION & TECHNOLOGY
All the speakers recalled the undeniable qualities of the Japanese model: diligence in work, sense of service and excellence in execution, refinement and finally the importance of the common good. They also tried to bring their answers to the challenges the country is facing today: the aging population, the energy transition, the work-life balance and the gender parity
Journalists Regis Arnaud (FJE, Le Figaro) sat down with a number of speakers to discuss key takeaways from their respective sessions.
The French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan is pleased to introduce this exclusive series of video interviews, starting this week with:
