From Japan to the World: Reimagining Global Strategy through Innovation Ecosystems


In an era where innovation flows seamlessly across borders and industries, traditional firm-centric strategies must be fundamentally reevaluated. To establish sustainable competitive advantage, organizations must transition from closed operations to open, multi-actor ecosystems.

In this exclusive executive session, Professor Yoshinori FUJIKAWA, Affiliate Professor of Strategy & Marketing of IMD, will share global strategic frameworks and insights from Japan and beyond. The discussion will explore how leading enterprises successfully orchestrate diverse innovation ecosystems, unlock next-generation capabilities, and co-create value in a landscape increasingly defined by digital platforms and AI.
