Industrial revolutions have advanced by shifting core resources—from coal to oil to electricity—each time reshaping society’s goals and values. Today, with “data” as a new resource, multiple data-driven manufacturing systems are connecting, reorganizing partners depending on context, and expanding optimization across factories, companies, regions, and nations.
The Robot Revolution & Industrial IoT International Symposium 2025, under this year’s theme “The Future of Data-Driven Manufacturing: Collaboration and Transformation,” will explore data use based on collaboration and look ahead to the changes it will bring to industry.
On Session Day (October 21), we will welcome experts and leaders from Germany’s Plattform Industrie 4.0 and the U.S. CESMII, who will engage in dialogue with Japanese specialists. To pursue optimization through data collaboration, we will examine the foundations that enable cooperation—standards, architectures, and governance rules—and present the latest developments in regional data spaces. Looking ahead to the rise of AI and automation, we will also discuss governance frameworks in which humans define objectives, constraints, and accountability. In addition, participants will experience a demonstration (provided by Germany) inspired by the Industrial Metaverse, and join networking sessions in the evening.
At the main conference (November 6), Mr. Hanami of IPA (DADC) and Mr. Mano of DSA will discuss the future of Japan’s data space, taking a cross-cutting view from regulation, implementation, and manufacturing practice. Together, government, industry, and academia will explore pathways to systems that truly function in practice.
Who to collaborate with—and how to transform? Let us begin tackling these questions together.
