While the decline in Japan’s economic strength and competitiveness has been a long-standing issue, this field, which has the strength of cross-border (international reach), is expanding into the Japanese content industry, which is known as an “IP (intellectual property)” powerhouse, such as anime, manga, and games. One of the reasons for this is that it has the potential to greatly support the DX (digital transformation) of various industries and the expansion into global business.
In this way, Japan has begun to make serious efforts to create new innovations and businesses, but it is required to further accelerate efforts such as creating use cases and globalization.
In addition, many businesses in Japan have highlighted issues in various aspects such as building knowledge and business ideas to advance Web3 business, corporate networks, and business human resources.
