Hyperdifferential Conference Tokyo 2026 Details

With the growing complexity of social issues and the increasing sophistication of technology, there is an increased interest in open innovation research organizations where companies collaborate with external parties for research and development. However, there is no established methodology for establishing and operating such organizations, and many are still in the process of trial and error. In this session, two companies that have established R&D themes through dialogue with external parties and a researcher who analyzes corporate R&D processes will take the stage. While sharing the background of internal and external challenges and decisions faced when promoting co-creation, the panelists will discuss how to implement co-creation in corporate research.

We will have a program of discussions with researchers, ventures, and companies from a variety of perspectives, not limited to the themes of this session. For more information,Conference Websitefor more information.
