meet.
This year in JOGMEC Techno Forum 2017, under the theme of “Your Challenges, OurSolutions ~ Opening a new era of technology innovation ~”, we will focus on the significance ofTechnology Innovation, casting a spotlight to three keywords, “Independence from the fluctuating oil
price environment”, “Competitiveness” and “Alliance Synergy”. The theme of Technology Innovation
will be developed throughout the forum but particularly in the panel discussion planned on the firstday. On the sedond day, there will be three technology specific sessions on Offshore Technologies,
Unconventionals and IoT/BigData Technologies, as well as the closing session on Japaense
Technology Innovation. Furthermore, Japanese cutting edge technologies and JOGMEC’s activities
