About this session

This session moves beyond the hype of Japan’s AI “Third Way” to get a real-world view from the founders who are actually building it. While Japan is forging a distinct path in AI—focusing on hardware integration, robotics, and real-world deployment—what does this look like on the ground?

This panel brings together founders at the helm of pioneering companies like Moneytree, Yuno, Tradom Inc. and Habitto for a frank, in-the-trenches discussion. They will share the real-world challenges and opportunities in leveraging Japan’s unique strengths, from integrating AI into regulated industries to navigating its unique market dynamics. This dialogue aims to create a practical playbook for building a globally competitive AI company from Japan, highlighting the strategies that separate a promising idea from a defensible, high-growth businesses. They will share the real-world challenges and opportunities in integrating AI into regulated industries and Japan’s unique market.
