implementation. After living abroad for 10 years, I took a fresh look at Japan, and at the same time found a culture to be proud of, as well as challenges. I am glad that I was able to propose a solution that leverages creativity in the area of disaster prevention, where these two aspects intersect. We will start with Shibuya and eventually aim to make disaster prevention a part of hospitality throughout the country. Thank you very much for this time.

Do you really need your ideals and ideas for a while? I was worried about whether it was something I could do. Under such circumstances, receiving this award and being supported by my ideals and goals was a good opportunity for me to increase my self-affirmation, which is important for moving forward. Of course, there are many improvements to this idea. However, I would like to hold on to my feelings even more strongly and do my best to realize my ideals with more people than ever before. 3.FUTURE DESIGN Award/Designing the future with possibilities “The QUAKE MATE Project – New disaster prevention in the inbound era” Maho Irie

Congratulations to all the award winners. Thank you to all the pitch participants for their hard work. Really good ideas quickly spread around the world. The power of ideas is truly amazing, and the process of “creating,” “nurturing,” “handling,” and “throwing ideas into the world” may include hardships and frustrations. You may be able to do something more amazing than you expected, and you may be appreciated and moved by people all over the world. I hope you will continue to work hard, imagining the world that will spread out beyond the experience of feeling the power of ideas and cherishing them, and boiling down to ideas!
