In fields such as smart cities that control electric power and transportation systems throughout the city, an organization will be established for the public and private sectors to collaborate and sell Japanese digital technology overseas.
This organization is a "digital overseas expansion platform" established by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications next month, and is expected to be attended by Japanese IT companies, trading companies, financial institutions, etc.
The aim is to expand opportunities for Japanese companies to participate in businesses that utilize digital technology developed overseas, such as smart cities that control electric power and transportation systems throughout the city, and disaster prevention systems.
Specifically, we will create a database of businesses and needs that are being promoted overseas to share information, analyze technologies and services that can be used in specific countries and regions, and make adjustments for proposals and orders. I plan to go.
At a press conference after the Cabinet meeting, Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Takeda said, "By collecting, sharing and analyzing information and needs from around the world, we will provide continuous and effective support to Japanese companies and solve social issues around the world. This will lead to the strengthening of Japan's international competitiveness. "
