KUALA LUMPUR, July 14 -- The Government of Japan’s Cabinet Office has announced organising the Society 5.0 Expo jointly with the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) from July 15 at TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN® in Tokyo, Japan.
This is expected to be Japan’s first major expo to focus on Society 5.0, whereby the expo will also be viewable online with multilingual explanations for the global audience, according to a statement.
The expo will showcase the Society 5.0 concept proposed by the Japanese government as a highly desirable future society.
The concept envisions the creation of a human-centred society in which all industries and other areas of society adopt AI, IoT, robots, big data and other innovative technologies to overcome critical challenges.
The Cabinet Office’s 6th Science, Technology and Innovation Basic Plan covering fiscal 2021 to 2025 sets forth the direction of science, technology and innovation policies to secure sustainability, resilience and the well-being of diverse individuals.
The expo will present achievements being realised through national projects focused on increasing innovation in society, including the cross-ministerial strategic innovation promotion programme (SIP) and the ImPACT programme for stimulating high-risk, high-impact R&D.
Specifically, some 50 leading Japanese companies, universities and organisations will exhibit approximately 200 products and research achievements that are expected to contribute not only to Society 5.0 but also the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
The exhibits will cover fields such as mobility, healthcare and caregiving, manufacturing, agriculture, food, disaster prevention and energy, including Asteroid-explorer Hayabusa2’s returned capsule; SkyDrive flying car; and, Honda Legend Level-3 autonomous vehicle with high-definition 3D mapping.
International viewers will be welcome to enjoy the many exhibits viewable online via mobile devices and PCs, supported with explanations available in a number of languages.
The organisers will be pleased to present the virtual exhibition as an opportunity for the global community to learn more about Japan’s forward-looking Society 5.0 concept.
