Retail Tech Conference - Business Leaders Forum 2024

Retail Tech Conference : Transforming Japanese Retail: Leveraging Technological Innovation to Address Challenges

We are excited to announce that the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan (CCI France-Japon), following the success of last year, will host the 2nd edition of its Retail Tech Conference on Tuesday, November 5th, 2024, from 3pm onwards at L'Espace CCIFJ (Nihonbashi, Tokyo). This year’s conference will focus on the theme: "Transforming Japanese Retail: Leveraging Technological Innovation to Address Challenges."

This Conference will explore the dynamic evolution of the retail landscape in Japan, examining various aspects such as digital transformation, consumer behavior shifts, and the integration of innovative technologies. The event will feature two insightful panels: the first will discuss the challenges of retail transformation in Japan, while the second will present cutting-edge technological solutions designed to enhance the retail sector's efficiency and customer engagement.

This conference is part of the ‘Business Leaders Forum,’ a series aimed at uniting experts across sectors to tackle emerging industry challenges while fostering collaboration between France and Japan. The insights gained from this conference will contribute to our annual Business Summit on December 3rd, 2024, themed "Inventing a Better Future in a Changing World."

We invite you to join us for this unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of retail technology and expand your professional network.
