A Week of Global Collaboration: Highlights from Japan

On November 27, 2024, the Tokyo Systems Engineering Summit brought together experts from Asia and Europe to foster international collaboration. This flagship event was part of a week-long journey through Japan undertaken by Dr. Henrik Weimer (Airbus), Philipp Wibbing (Unity AG), Tomohiko Adachi (Mazda Motor Corporation), and Dr. Alain Pfouga (prostep ivip).

The delegation engaged in meaningful discussions during visits to Nissan, Toyota, Denso, and Mazda. A highlight was an insightful exchange with Toshiba CEO Taro Shimada, culminating in a Push2Future interview between Taro Shimada and Tomohiko Adachi. This interview underscored the importance of Systems Engineering and global digital transformation efforts.

With over 130 attendees, the Tokyo Summit featured thought-provoking keynotes and technical sessions on topics like AI, Systems Engineering, and Digital Twin. Special thanks to our Premium Partners NTT Data and PTC and exhibitors Toshiba, IAV, and Zuken, whose contributions made this event a resounding success.
We are especially grateful to NTT Data – including Jens Krüger and Toshiro Uno – for their exceptional support, and to Tomohiko Adachi, whose dedication was instrumental in the success of this journey.

This week in Japan highlighted the value of collaboration within the prostep ivip Community, bridging continents to drive industrial digital transformation forward. We look forward to future endeavors and continued partnership!

In the program of the Tokyo Systems Engineering Summit below you will find the presentations of the speakers under the respective program item. Thank you to all speakers and participants of the Tokyo Summit - information on a Tokyo Systems Engineering Summit in 2025 will follow soon.
