Hitachi has more than a century of engineering behind it and deep in-house capabilities across rail, energy, digital, and industrial systems. So what does a company like that look for in an external innovation ecosystem?
In this fireside chat, Charlie Takeuchi, President & CEO of Hitachi Americas, sits down with Chris Walla, Senior Directo at CIC to talk about how a global corporation engages with startups, cities, and research institutions, and how it decides where to commit. They'll discuss:
- what Hitachi looks for outside its own walls
- how the company matches what it finds externally with what it already does well internally
- how Hitachi chooses which cities to build deeper engagement in and invest in
- why New York City has become a priority, the BATWorks project, and what Hitachi hopes to build there
- what it takes to connect innovation between Japan and the United States
