Wrap-up: The Japan-Sweden Business Summit: Reinventing Global Business

April 23, 2018 in Tokyo, Japan

“Future technologies will continue to increase the possibilities within IoT in general, and transportation and automotive in particular. As more devices become connected over time, the solutions based on the technological ecosystem will create the real boom of IoT”, Telenor Connexion´s CEO Mats Lundquist presented his view on innovation enabled by connectivity at “The Future of Transport” seminar in Tokyo, arranged by Business Sweden.

At the event high-level representatives at leading Swedish enterprises took part in a discussion how Swedish advanced technology – in areas such as e-mobility, connectivity and autonomous driving – can contribute to the big social transformation plan of Japan called Society 5.0. The seminar is part of the High Level Business Delegation including the Japan-Sweden Business Summit, at the celebration of 150 years of diplomatic relations between Japan and Sweden. Apart from gathering policy makers, industry associations, automotive manufacturers and media, Sweden’s Head of State H.M. Carl XVI Gustaf and H.M. Silvia were present.
