  • “I participated in order to gather information for formulating a three-year digital strategy and AI strategy. The workshop that linked our company’s strengths with our IT strategy was extremely useful, and the conference was also very meaningful as an opportunity for networking.”

    CIO, Energy

  • “The Research Discussion was extremely meaningful. I rarely have the opportunity to talk with people from other industries, so it was valuable to find common topics. Until now, my main purpose was to gather information, but I now feel that exchanging opinions is also very worthwhile.”
