Ekkono #openfika 8: IoT in Japan

This #openfika is about "IoT in Japan" - the birthplace of the smartphone, Lean production, emojis and the Tamagotchi. Our CEO, Jon Lindén, invites Hitomi Yatsu from Ekkono's partner Ubiquitous AI Corporation to talk about what's happening in one of the world's most innovative, automated and fascinating countries. Ekkono's customers are product OEMs, in all industries, but with emphasis on industrial equipment and automotive. Just like Sweden, Japan is the home of an unproportionate high number of globally renowned corporations in these spaces. This is why Ekkono, while still a young company, partnered with Ubiquitous AI Corp, an embedded software specialist in Japan, already last year to enter the Japanese market. So, what's big in Japan? Is Japan ahead or behind Europe and rest of the world on IoT? How is demographics impacting the adoption and the urgency for new technology? Are there political aspects that impact the technological evolution? What industries set the example? What does the future look like? Watch this vidoe to find out!
