About the Event
The Norwegian Embassy in Tokyo in co-operation with Innovation Norway and the NCCJ is organising a workshop on Thursday September 24. as a part on Nordic Edge Expo.
This session will reflect upon economic, technological and social development in Japan through digital transformation and the realisation of “Society 5.0”.
Economies and societies change in tune with technological developments, and as technology is developing faster, so has the rate of change increased. The central reports Society 5.0 – Co-creating the Future and Digital Transformation – Opening Up the Future through Co-creation of Values recognise this dynamic, but also underline the opportunities this change brings about.
The NCCJ invites the first 10 members to register free tickets to the entire Nordic Edge Expo – including Thursday’s workshop. Read more about the full program of Nordic Edge Expo and click here to register.
