New Business Creation Forum 2016 2nd
On Tuesday November 15, 2016, a forum titled “New Business Creation Forum 2016 2nd: New business creation in an era of uncertainty – Innovation management that develops new business opportunities from new ‘networks’ ” was held at Bellesalle Kudan, Kudanshita, Tokyo.
The business environment is now more unstable and more uncertain than ever before. In order to keep up with the rapid changes in the environment, we need to be on the constant lookout for new business ideas and opportunities, cultivate foresight, and develop a system and strategy which will help to create innovation and new business from a long-term perspective. In fact, a lot of companies are accelerating their efforts towards creating new business and innovation. However, it is inadvisable to haphazardly just try to do this and that. While there are a wide range of different approaches, what strategies and systems should we employ, and how should we seek out and develop new business opportunities to make real innovation happen?
As was the case with the 1st New Business Creation Forum, we in the 2nd of its kind invited people in various positions from various fields to deliver lectures and participate in panel discussions, including top executives who are putting new business creation into practice, management who are supervising R&D, people from universities as well as venture companies and venture capital companies and business scholars, and examined the key factors from diversified perspectives to see how we should utilize global networks of technologies, ideas, enterprises, public institutions, universities and people, thereby seeking out, identifying and developing new business opportunities.
