13:45 ~ 14:15Driving R&D Digital Transformation: A Roadmap
A Practical Approach to Organization-Wide Adoption of AI and Materials InformaticsPre-Registration requiredSelect this
session【Abstract】R&D DX powered by AI and informatics has moved beyond the proof-of-concept (PoC) stage at many companies, which are now looking to take the next step.
At the same time, while PoCs have delivered some results, many organizations face challenges such as:
"Which domains should we expand to first?"
"What kind of structure is needed to sustain these efforts?"
"How can individual initiatives be scaled across the entire organization?"
This session presents an approach to embedding AI and materials informatics (MI) in the organization as part of R&D DX, rather than leaving them as one-off initiatives.
Drawing on three perspectives—technology, organization, and talent—it explains the process of building a roadmap, executing it, and leveraging the results for next steps, alongside practical case studies.![MI-6_Kojima_Photo.jpg]()
