From Vision to Social Implementation

New Value for the Auto Parts Industry, Born from Collaboration

As changes in the environment surrounding the auto parts industry accelerate, collaboration that goes beyond individual companies is becoming increasingly important for tackling challenges that are difficult to solve alone. In this session, five companies will present case studies of co-creation with startups and other industries, as outcomes of JAPIA's open innovation activities.

Under the theme "From Vision to Social Implementation," we will share practical knowledge generated by member companies, and communicate the challenges that will shape the future of Japan's auto parts industry through new value creation via collaboration and the spread of its results across the industry.
