Toward the realization of a sustainable future
While boasting world-class technological prowess, Japan faces various social issues such as an aging population, labor shortages, and an increase in natural disasters. We will take up Japan's unique decarbonization and digitalization innovations toward the realization of a sustainable future, and invite experts from various fields from Japan and Germany to deepen the discussion.
In each lecture and panel session, in addition to experts from industry companies, Shibuya Ward, which is working on open innovation, Mr. Ken Sakamura, Dean of Toyo University INIAD (Faculty of Information Networking and Innovation), and Eternal Master Toshiyuki Moriuchi from the shogi world will be on stage. Many executives from Infineon Technologies AG, including Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Andreas Urschitz, are scheduled to visit Japan.
At the same time, demonstration demonstrations and panel exhibitions by start-up companies are also planned.
