Macnica "Macnica Exponential Technology 2023" will be held to experience the future created by value co-creation [Online period: 2023/12/1 (Fri) ~ 2023/12/8 (Fri)]
Macnica (Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Representative Director and President: Kazumasa Hara, hereinafter referred to as Macnica) is a large-scale conference "Macnica Exponential Technology 2023 (Macnica) with the concept of "creating the future together with a bird's-eye view of cutting-edge technology" MET2023)" will be held today.
Many technologies are evolving exponentially (= exponential), and they are becoming more familiar to us, such as the spread of generative AI. Furthermore, in order to utilize evolving technology to solve social issues, there is a need for partnerships that transcend organizational boundaries, or "co-creation."
This year marks the fourth time Macnica Exponential Technology has been held, and every year we send out a message for the future with top players who are working on transformation at the forefront of various fields such as AI, data, robotics, and security, and last year about 5,000 people applied online.
This year, under the theme of "value co-creation," a total of 29 sessions will be streamed online for 8 days from 12/1 (Fri) ~ 12/8 (Fri).
How can we create value through the use of global exponential technologies and co-creation? From our luxury guests and Macnica insights, we'll give you all the tips.
