Theme: "WEB3, A.I., and the Fusion of Humanity"

Strengthening the Competitiveness of Japan's Intellectual Industries: The Future of Web3 and AI

Japan, which has lagged behind in the global software competition, is now facing the imperative to enhance its competitiveness in the field of intellectual industries, leveraging emerging technologies like Web3 and the rapidly evolving realm of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). Exploring strategies through technological innovation, the aim is to position Japan as a driving force in the digital economy. The current state and future prospects of Web3 and AI will be discussed by key figures, including the Web3 Lead of a French luxury brand and prominent startups from both domestic and international landscapes.

Contributing to the Development of the Japanese Economy: The Future of FinTech

This discussion will cover the latest trends in cryptocurrencies and blockchain, strategies involving stablecoins and digital currencies by major banks, as well as the role of next-generation fundraising methods and venture capital (VC). The need for new, open financial systems is not limited to Japan but is a global demand. By leveraging FinTech, we aim to provide a platform for discussions on streamlining Japan's financial system and creating new business models.

Improving Digital Literacy in Japan: Education

Web3 and AI industries remain predominantly centered in Western countries. However, there is a growing momentum in the Asian region, particularly in places like Singapore and Hong Kong. In the contemporary digital industry that predominantly operates in English, Japan has faced ongoing challenges. Our objective is to disseminate primary information from overseas to Japan as much as possible, providing a platform to bridge the gap with the rest of the world. With the acceleration of digitization, we aim to contribute to the development of the next generation of technology professionals and leaders capable of making informed decisions by collaborating with digital tools.

Achieving a Sustainable Society: Regional Revitalization and Renewable Energy

Utilizing the latest technologies such as AI and Web3, we contemplate the promotion of local development and the realization of a sustainable society. Japan's rural areas are grappling with an aging population and depopulation, making it crucial to create new industries and employment opportunities. Through technology, we aim to invigorate local communities and explore the path toward a sustainable future. This includes promoting the transition to clean and renewable energy in the field of energy.
