DIGITAL SOLUTIONS FOR SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCE WEBINAR

Business Leaders Forum 2021

The French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan (CCI France-Japon) is organizing a Webinar on “Digital solutions for sustainability and resilience” on Thursday, July 8th 2021, from 17:00 to 18:30 (JST). 

The Covid-19 crisis has accelerated digital transformation in all industries. Some businesses have experienced a major growth during the pandemic (food delivery service, online retail, virtual healthcare, video communications…) while others have decided to adapt or change their business models in order to meet the new growing demand. Digital tools and solutions have played a crucial role in overcoming the crisis and in moving towards a more sustainable and resilient future. This event will help start build visions for 2050, which is the main topic of the French-Japanese Business Summit that will take place on November 9th.

In this webinar, concrete and practical examples of digital transformations and solutions developed by companies in different sectors will be presented:

• Overview of digitalization trends in Japan  
• The role of digital technology to help businesses in their sustainability strategies
• The role of digital twins for Smart Cities operation and management
• Importance of digitalization for decarbonization and resiliency of Japan’s electricity

Join this event, designed to help business leaders and policy makers lead change and navigate future developments, to get forward-thinking and integrated perspective.
