Event Overview:

Join us for the ACCJ Kansai's annual discussion with representatives from the Union of Kansai Governments (UKG). This year's public-private dialogue will focus Digital Transformation, known as “DX,” in Kansai Government and Businesses.

Working together with U.S. partners in the U.S.-Japan Internet and Digital Economy dialogues, Japan has made progress in developing digital-friendly policies, particularly in cloud computing, IoT, cybersecurity, and data protection. However, the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated that much work remains to digitize the infrastructure in the government and business sectors. This panel will explore these opportunities for “DX”in Kansai Government and Businesses, and how the two sectors can work together to build an even stronger innovation ecosystem.
