โThe Institutional Edge: AI Across Japan's Buy-Side, Sell-Side, and Data Layer
โHosted by LinqAlpha and sponsored by LSEG, AQR Capital Management, AWS and Z Venture Capital, the AI for Finance Summit is a private gathering for senior finance professionals. The Tokyo edition asks how Japan's institutions can build an edge with AI in a market where most of what moves a stock is still disclosed in Japanese, not English.
โThe afternoon looks at that question from the buy-side, the sell-side and the data layer beneath both: one fireside, three panels and two live demos, followed by a reception. Sessions are in English with live Japanese subtitles. Admission is by non-transferable invitation only. Approved guests receive a QR code by email before the event, which is needed to enter the building.
