MANILA, PHILIPPINES - Media OutReach Newswire - 15 October 2025 – Canon today announced the launch of the first Think Big Leadership Business Series in the Philippines. Themed 'Innovation-Driven Leadership: Powering Vision, Driving Growth', the executive forum will equip Philippine business leaders with critical strategies needed to drive sustainable growth in today's business landscape. Happening on Monday, 27 October 2025, at the Ascott BGC in Taguig, this event will focus on leveraging innovative integrated solutions—from workflow automation to advanced security—to enable executives to power their future-ready vision and drive growth.

This focus on innovation is critical at a time when the Philippines maintains its trajectory as one of Southeast Asia's fastest-growing economies. The country's commitment to progress was recently affirmed by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), which saw the Philippines climb to No. 50 in the 2025 Global Innovation Index (GII)—a significant milestone that underpins the government's push for a digitally competitive economy.

"In today's dynamic Asian business landscape, the ability to innovate and scale is the true differentiator for Philippine enterprises," said Norihiro (Nick) Katagiri, Senior Vice President, Regional Digital Printing and Business Solution Operations, Canon Singapore. "The Think Big series embodies Canon's commitment to partnering with business leaders to not only navigate change but to proactively shape the future. We aim to provide senior executives with crucial insights and integrated solutions to harness the Philippines' economic momentum and turn strategic vision into significant business advantage."

Integrated Solutions and Discussions for Forward-Thinking Leaders

The Think Big event will feature a series of high-level panel and roundtable discussions led by Canon executives and key industry leaders, including Reynaldo Lugtu from Hungry Workhorse and Ernesto "Boogie" Boydon from Tagpros Education. The discussions will offer actionable insights on critical leadership priorities. These include leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a core business enabler and showcasing how leaders can move past complex challenges to forge growth strategies for future-ready enterprises.

Beyond the plenary and panel sessions, the event will feature a dedicated solutions showcase, providing guests an opportunity to engage with Canon's innovations. This area will present key digital transformation solutions critical for future-ready enterprises, including new launches in the Philippines:
