Linkage that Energizes “Venue” for Creation
and Planning for Special Exhibits
Special Exhibit by the Sponsor – IoT Town
- Japan has the world’s largest megacity. However, it also has a range of social issues with an aging population and low birth rate, the environment and energy, disaster prevention and safety, medical and healthcare. The question is how to develop and manage society and the lives of people in the face of such a mountain of problems. In order to tackle these issues, not only cutting-edge technology will play a role here, but also creation of a “forum” where multiple players with intention can think about the future together is indispensable. Bringing together the intelligence of a range of companies, the sponsor’s special IoT Town exhibition will offer proposals for new “forms of towns” from Japan.
Partnering with IoT-related Associations to Bring About New Innovations
- As CPS/IoT Exhibition where new values are created, IoT-related associations will partner around the IoT Promotion Consortium, and will announce initiatives for the development and verification of technologies, and the generation of new business models etc. through the CEATEC JAPAN venue. Also, there will be specially planned exhibits focusing on neural networks, Agent approach technologies, autonomous driving, distribution robots & drones, service & industrial robots, and artificial intelligence (AI).
Finding the Seeds of Business Innovation
- CEATEC JAPAN aims to prepare the ground to bring together wide ranging industries, overseas businesses, and startups to create business. Participation from businesses that the public does not usually have contact with, such as those in agriculture, apparel, aerospace and startups, and the opportunity to see and feel CPS/IoT is also one of the big attractions of CEATEC JAPAN. In 2016, the “Venture & University Area” will also feature, enabling visitors to feel the potential for social transformation through budding new players.
With the keywords of “business opportunity creation,” “technology and information exchange,” “proposals for social issue solutions,” and “discovering companies and industrial activity,” the period between the day before the exhibition, October 3 (Monday) and October 7 (Friday) will be positioned as CEATEC Week, during which many events are planned to promote business exchange (business links) with executives from Japan and around the world, engineers, and persons involved in government etc.
