Accelerating research, development, and industrialization of fusion energy.

[Speaker] Yuichi Murakami Director, Automotive Sector, Deloitte Tohmatsu Consulting LLC [Key Lecture Content] In the automotive industry, which is undergoing a once-in-a-century transformation, "SDV: Software Defined Vehicle" will play a central role in this change. However, the term "SDV" encompasses diverse meanings, leading to varying interpretations and resembling a buzzword. In this lecture, we will explore the true digital transformation (DX) in the automotive industry encapsulated by the term "SDV," starting from the changes in the value provided by automobile manufacturers, namely "the car (what is produced)," and including both "changes in how it is made" and "changes in how it is used." We will provide a comprehensive examination of the impact of digital technology on the automotive industry and the points of transformation. [Lecture Topics] 1. Changes in usage - Shifts in user values 2. Changes in what is produced (the car) - Software and digitalization of vehicles 3. Changes in how it is made - Software-based vehicle development 4. Changes in the supply chain 5. Changes in business viability 6. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Speaker] Tadakazu Arakawa, Professor Emeritus, The University of Tokyo / Vice President, World Wind Energy Association [Key Lecture Content] After an overview of wind power generation, the latest information on the business trends and technological developments of offshore wind power generation, which has become one of the main power sources, will be explained. Based on the Renewable Energy Sea Area Utilization Act, operators have been determined for offshore wind power projects up to Round 3, and there has been significant progress in expanding into vast Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ). On the other hand, due to international material shortages and rising prices stemming from issues like the Ukraine crisis, some operators have expressed the possibility of withdrawing from projects. In Japan, where there are no wind turbine manufacturers, discussions will be held on the healthy development and dissemination of offshore wind power towards the carbon neutrality policy by 2050. [Lecture Items] 1. Introduction to Wind Power Generation 2. Current Status of Offshore Wind Power Generation 3. Offshore Wind Power Projects Based on the Renewable Energy Sea Area Utilization Act 4. Technology and Wind Turbines in Offshore Wind Power Generation 5. Project Formation and Regional Promotion of Offshore Wind Power Generation 6. Progress of Japan's Offshore Wind Power Generation Aiming for Carbon Neutrality 7. Q&A / Business Card Exchange

The Management Game (MG) is a practical educational training program developed by Sony in 1976. It has a track record of approximately 5,000 companies and 1 million participants, primarily among large corporations. Through corporate management simulation (experiential learning), it enhances numerical ability and strategic thinking. Each participant takes on the role of a business owner, managing the company from its founding to its operation. They practice a series of management cycles, including decision-making, result analysis (financial statements), and planning. Participants not only create P/L and B/S but also learn strategic accounting (criteria for profit generation), conduct management analysis, and draft the next management plan (strategic plan). The program combines "practical exercises" and "lectures" to achieve high learning effectiveness.
