DX and innovation in Japan and Taiwan: common challenges and cooperation for the future
In recent years, Japan, one of the world’s leading powers, has begun to focus on digital transformation (DX). Historically, Japan has been known for its strong manufacturing industry and conservative business environment, but a rapidly growing global economy presents significant challenges in adapting to and leveraging new technologies, as well as opportunities. facing.
The Japanese government has launched various policies to promote innovation and technological development from 2021 onwards. Among these, the “Integrated Innovation Strategy” and “AI Strategy” have added new important strategies to promote the construction of next-generation data centers, the development of cutting-edge logic semiconductor technology, and quantum technology. Also, “Beyond The 5G promotion strategy focuses on the development of more advanced communication technologies, and the cybersecurity strategy aims to strengthen network security across the nation. These policies aim to strengthen the country’s competitiveness through innovation and reflect the Japanese government’s determination to promote DX.
* Responding to a declining birthrate and aging society *
As the wave of DX surges around the world, Japan is faced with the need to deal not only with the economy and securing a workforce, but also with various social pressures and environmental issues. As Japan’s declining birthrate and aging population become more serious, there is a need for more efficient and productive work styles. To address these challenges, innovation is key to improving productivity and making up for labor shortages, so smart solutions, AI, IoT, 5G, etc. , and technologies such as image analysis technology to address the social issues brought about by the declining birthrate and aging population are being explored. DX initiatives in Taiwan, which faces the same social issues, may help address social issues brought about by the declining birthrate and aging population.
* Cooperation and sharing of experience with Taiwan *
Taiwan is relatively mature in the field of DX, with abundant technology, human resources, and technological advantages. For example, NEXT BIG 2023
Inline was selected to develop a restaurant ordering service system that significantly improves communication between restaurant operations and customers. In addition, Humetrics has developed iCue, a smart care assistant that significantly reduces the risk of falls for the elderly, and has demonstrated excellent performance in the care market. These solutions for an aging society with a declining birthrate show the great potential of Taiwan and Japan to cooperate in DX.
*Holding of “Japan-Taiwan Innovation Summit”*
Japan and Taiwan have built a close mutual cooperative relationship in the field of DX. Taiwan is at the forefront of DX, and many new technologies are already popular in Taiwan. For example, Taiwan has extensive experience in areas such as data centers, semiconductor manufacturing, AI, and IoT, making it an important partner for Japanese companies exploring new technologies and cooperation opportunities. In order to meet this need, Japan and Taiwan have held the “Japan-Taiwan Innovation Summit” in Tokyo every year for three years, bringing together startups from both Japan and Taiwan to share their achievements and explore ways to cooperate. .
This year’s Japan-Taiwan Innovation Summit has six themes: AI, semiconductors, healthcare, DX, fintech, and ESG. Startup Island A talented Taiwanese startup team led by TAIWAN brings the latest technology to Tokyo. We hope that the results of DX in Taiwan will help tackle common social and environmental issues between Japan and Taiwan, and contribute to the realization of innovation and
sustainability.
