Dōmo arigatōgozaimasu to the SKS Japan team for hosting us in the panel on 'How do large corporations drive innovation?' - Clearly an important topic as we need large corporations to adapt and evolve if we are going to transform the global food system AND ensure non-dispaceability for all stakeholders. Our definition of innovation - Creating mindset, culture and ways of working that enable a system (company or ecosystem) to continuously evolve and adapt to changing conditions and opportunities, manifesting in the creation of new futures.

Some bits of information: - Japan is opening up to the West, specially during the last 4-5 years, where there has been a clear goal from the government. - teambuilding within the Japanese companies, but also with Japanese companies, is often happening in the pub... - the right communication is the key, taking into account the cultural aspects!

Bavaria´s international representatives are important partners for companies interested in setting up business operations in Bavaria. This week we introduce Peter Kompalla, the Bavarian representative for Slovakia. His job in a nutshell: „Constantly explaining what contribution can be made to strengthening bilateral economic relations and pointing out the specific potentials.“ Peter knows why Bavaria is an attractive busniess location for Slovakian companies: "Economic strength with diversified industries, innovative power with well-developed research and development capacities, and a well-educated workforce." 💪 What is interesting about Slovakia? Slovakia also ranks as a historic, picturesque and hospitable country. Fun fact: No other country in the world produces as many cars per 1,000 inhabitants as Slovakia. 🚗 You can find more exciting information on the following slides. 🤍💙❤️ Contact information: 📩 kompalla@ahk.sk 📞 +421 902 918 254 AHK Slowakei (German-Slovak Chamber of Commerce) #bavariaworldwide #investorschoice #internationalbusiness #slovakia

Japanese business slowly becomes more female Ever since I started working with Japanese companies more than 10 years ago, I have been in contact with a lot of women in Japanese companies and organisations. This is partly because the communications and marketing industry I work in has long been very female-dominated. The contact persons for Japanese clients in PR or Marketing departments were and still are also often female. However, the fact that the top management level is also becoming more female is a very recent development. Occasionally, women, Japanese and Non-Japanese, join the boards of Japanese companies (like Irene Bader has done last year at DMG MORI) , and more and more they also become CEOs and still cause a stir (which hopefully becomes less, the more it becomes a normality), like Makiko Ono, who became CEO of Suntory Holdings Limited last year. And today Japan Airlines also announces that a woman, Mitsuko Tottori, will take on the role of president. Personally, I welcome this development a lot (and I am sure, we will see a big wave more sooner than later in Japan) and also look forward to more female Germany and Europe presidents in the local offices of Japanese companies for our J-BIG - Japan Business in Germany interviews (as the percentage of women is still extremely low here)! https://lnkd.in/dtvagbfE ---

What is driving the PE market in 2024 ? A few thoughts published today on Italiaoggi

Japan Airlines (JAL) announced on the 17th that director Ms. Mitsuko Tottori has been promoted to president. Mr. Yuji Akasaka, president, will become chairman. This is the first female president of Japan Airlines. Ms. Tottori became an executive after working as a flight attendant. And this time she finally took the top position in the company. In Japan, the number of female presidents and company executives is lower than in the world (especially in developed countries). This is said to be a social issue. News that a female will become the president of a large company. It is already outdated for this to be a topic. That said, it is an important social contribution for large companies to foster more and more female managers and top executives. #japanairlines #femalepresidentjapan #jalpresidentnew #femaleexecutivesjapan #companypresidentwoman #womenadvancementtosociety #newpresidentjal #socialissuejapan
