Fujitsu Forum 2017, Fujitsu's largest annual event, will be held on 18th-19th May at the Tokyo International Forum in Japan. This year's theme will be 'Human Centric Innovation: Digital Co-creation.' Fujitsu hopes to engage in business collaborations in different industries and under different business conditions. In this forum, Fujitsu will introduce the digital transformations it can achieve with customers and partners, as well as the supporting ICT.

In recent years technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) have been put to use and have begun to transform business and lifestyles. In addition to this, coordination through data is giving rise to new services and business models, which are expanding across national borders and between industries and business categories.

Fujitsu is now set to hold its Fujitsu Forum 2017, with the theme of 'Human Centric Innovation: Digital Co-creation,' in order to help customers transform their businesses and strengthen their management. In this forum, Fujitsu will introduce its co-creation initiatives aimed at enabling the digital transformations of customers and strategic partners, as well as its Fujitsu Digital Business Platform MetaArc, a digital business platform, featuring technologies in such areas as IoT, AI, security, and mobile capabilities. In addition, visitors can experience spaces designed to generate innovation, as part of Fujitsu's open innovation initiatives.
