The use of open source is growing more and more also in Japanese companies. In line with the global trend, Japanese companies are beginning to establish OSPO functions. Some companies have established OSPO as a virtual company-wide organization, while others have added OSPO functions to their existing organizations. In addition, community activities related to OSPO are becoming more active. For example, the OpenChain Japan Work Group launched an OSPO Sub Group this year to accelerate information sharing on OSPO in Japan.

In this session, we will have a panel discussion with specialists from Sony, Mercari, and Fujistu, who have in-depth knowledge of OSPO implementation in Japan. We will discuss the mission that OSPO should fulfill and the challenges of launching OSPO in Japanese companies.
