Aiming for a “Digital Resilient Society” New IT Strategy Draft Government 7th July 8:1
After the end of the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the government has put together a new IT strategy proposal aiming at the realization of a “digitally toughened society” with digitalization as the driving force of social change.
Specifically, in order to promote the utilization of personal data related to medical care and health, we will unify the definition of “personal information” divided between the public and private sectors and integrate the jurisdiction with the government's personal information protection committee next year. The normal Diet is aiming to amend the law.
In addition, by the end of the 5th year of Reiwa, we are accelerating the achievement of the goal of introducing one PC and one tablet terminal for each elementary and junior high school this year.
In addition, in order to promote the development of next-generation communication standards following 5G, industry-government-academia collaboration will be put in place to centrally invest funds and human resources.
The government is planning to put together a new strategy at the "IT Comprehensive Strategy Headquarters" that will open next week.
