The Cabinet Office and Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) will hold an exhibition "Society 5.0 Science Expo" on July 5.0, 2021 (Thursday), which brings together cutting-edge science and technology from all industries that contribute to the realization of "Society 7 *". ) -Jointly held at Tokyo Sky Tree Town from Wednesday, July 15th.Some exhibits will be open to the public until September 7.
Japan has implemented a number of policies to promote science and technology innovation that transcends industry-academia-government boundaries. In the "2021th Science and Technology / Innovation Basic Plan" with the planning period from 2025 to 6, the creation of innovation is positioned as one of the pillars, and advanced technologies such as IoT, robots, artificial intelligence (AI), and big data. We are advocating a human-centered society "Society 5.0" that balances economic development and problem solving by incorporating the above into all industries and social life.
The "Society 5.0 Science Expo" to be held this time consists of five stages (the beginning of Society 5, the frontier of science and technology, the future image of Society 5.0, the Society 5.0 theater, and the trajectory to Society 5.0).The fun of science and technology through exhibitions that show the future life that changes with cutting-edge technology, the latest innovations in the space and ocean fields, which are the frontier fields of Japan, and the trajectory of "Society 5.0" toward the future society. Disseminate the importance.
Approximately 50 companies, universities, and organizations will participate in the exhibition of more than 200 cutting-edge science and technology and the latest research results in fields such as space, ocean, mobility, medical care, manufacturing, agriculture, disaster prevention, and energy.For example, disaster response robots that explore the rubble, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) that can explore undersea resources, next-generation energy ammonia fuel cells that do not emit CO2, flying cars that are a mobility revolution, thin and flexible. We will also introduce actual machines such as concept cars made of a new material "flexible tough polymer" that is tough yet.
In addition, by accessing the dedicated home page of "Society 5.0 Science Expo" from a smartphone or PC, you can participate in the "Cyber Exhibition" that virtually reproduces the venue, as well as space, ocean, healthcare, disaster prevention, and information communication. It is also possible to watch lectures by experts active in each industry online about cutting-edge science and technology and innovation in such industries.Virtual exhibitions and online lectures will be distributed on the dedicated website from Saturday, July 7th to Sunday, September 17th.
Admission to "Society 5.0 Science Expo" is free.However, a separate ticket must be purchased to enter the "Tokyo Skytree Tenbo Corridor".
* "Society 5.0" is a human-centered society that achieves both economic development and solution of social issues through a system that highly integrates cyber space (virtual space) and physical space (real space).
