On 14 October, JGC Group held the internal event “Everyone’s Digital Initiative: Autumn Festival 2026” to promote the use of AI. More than 500 people participated online to share knowledge across departments, communicate the AI use policy and explore specific possibilities for future operational transformation.
On 14 October, JGC Group held the internal event “Everyone’s Digital Initiative: Autumn Festival 2026.” The event was intended to foster an organizational culture that supports operational transformation through digital technologies and to strengthen the talent and organizational capabilities set out in BSP2030. At the opening, Representative Sato Masayuki (佐藤 雅之) said it was important to view AI not merely as a means of replacing work, but as a way to return the time and capabilities created to people.
In the first part, CDO Tanigawa (谷川氏) explained the “JGC Group AI Use Policy,” sharing the management and business challenges the Group needs to address, the roles of employees, departments and companies, and expectations for the use of AI. In the second part, examples of AI use within the Group were presented in a booth format, and participants deepened their understanding of how AI could be applied to their own work through a question-and-answer session.
After the event, a social gathering was held, providing an opportunity for information exchange across departments. JGC Group will continue to share examples of the use of IT and digital technologies, including AI, develop operational data, convert tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge and improve the operating environment. Through the continued holding of the Autumn Festival, the Group will promote mutual learning and the sharing of knowledge.
