Business Plan Promotion of Society 5.0

What is Society 5.0?

Co rebusin esses

Promotion of Acquisition, Use and Application of Data

Enhancing Competitiveness of Member Companies

Response to Social Requests

Promotion of Open Communication

Leveraging technological advances, including IoT (Internet of Things), big data, Al (Artificial Intelligence) and others., industrial and social structures are changing significantly and the IT/electronics industry is playing a key role as a driver to support Japan’s economic growth and social advancement. As part of efforts to achieve a “Super-Smart Society” by applying advanced information (Society 5.0) ahead of other countries, JEITA, working with various industries, Startups and overseas initiatives, etc., strives to promote new initiatives of member companies, including investigating issues involved with growing fields and proposals made to government, and others with a sense of urgency. Likewise, to enhance the competitiveness of member companies, we will steadily work to improve the business environment, including regulatory/system reform, tax revision requests, etc. Promoting these businesses will help us develop the IT/electronics industry and Japan’s economy/society.

Generation of the co-creation power of Japan toward the CPS/IoT era through CEATEC JAPANToward Society 5.0, positioning CEATEC JAPAN as a venue for generating the power of connection among industry, technology and policy by collaborating with different types of industries, ventures and overseas initiatives, based also on the CeBIT 2017 result, partner with the government and “IoT promotion consortium” and transmit the technical strength and direction of the domestic IT/electronics industry within and outside Japan. Also, at CEATEC JAPAN 2017, develop ”IoT Town 2017” as the organizer’s special project to introduce companies/organizations solving social issues and create new industries and bring frontrunners of all industries who establish Society 5.0 to the world.

Cooperation with other industriesTo support efforts by regional medium-sized/core companies to challenge new fields/businesses, etc., use supporting human resources, including regional coordinators, etc., cooperate with other industries and promote network building.

Cooperation with venture companiesUse the “JEITA venture award”, as a system to support venture companies who serve as key elements in CPS/IoT societal implementation and promote cooperation between member and venture companies by promoting the participation of the award-winning companies in JEITA businesses by newly establishing special schemes with preferential treatment for ventures, organizing gatherings with member companies, etc.

Promotion of human resource developmentConduct lectures for university students via industry-academia collaboration, classes by engineers/researchers for students from elementary school to high school where there is concern over declining interest in science and math, convey the appeal of the IT/electronics industry, the importance of human resources who handle the data and security essential for CPS/IoT and the need for development, etc. Also work on developing human resources who will play important roles in the future of the industry by promoting the development of human resources to be engaged in standardization, etc.

Approach to creating new marketsIdentify promising growth markets for the industry, including automated driving, healthcare, smart homes, etc., positively present the advantages of data use and application through CPS (Cyber-Physical System)/IoT and help solve social problems, etc. While collaborating with relevant industries and identifying user needs, strive to help expand the industry’s business field.

Identify markets in areas of new growth and raise awarenessConsidering changes in society and industrial structures by CPS/IoT and as part of efforts to benchmark social contributions made by the new growing field, examine the implementation of usage statistics and the application of IT solutions and services by fields.

Balance personal information protection and use and application and ensure data securityInvestigate common challenges, including a balance between the utilization of big data; essential to developing Al and protect privacy, rule-making and ensuring security when providing a new service to meet individual needs by promoting the use and application of data, fostering the value of open data utilization in Japan, etc. and making approaches to government such as regulatory/system reform requests, etc.

Improving the environment for IoT-related investmentTo advocate business using CPS/IoT throughout all industries/fields, engage in policy areas such as making tax revision requests and sending recommendations regarding governmental measures, which help promote investment in systems toward Society 5.0.

Promotion of CPS/IoT use in regionsTo help further revitalize the regional economy and society, while projects to improve the environment, including government measures in the form of “City/People/Work Creation HQ” (the Headquarters for Overcoming Population Decline and Vitalizing Local Economy in Japan), the regional development of the IoT promotion consortium (a regional version of the IoT promotion lab)and others are underway, we are advancing with efforts to promote and disseminate examples of CPS/IoT utilization by member companies (advantages of utilization, etc.) to help solve various social issues facing regions through collaboration with local government, etc.

Response to trade issues● Response to the protectionist policies of each countryIn the digital trade field, when protectionist trends such as blockring the flow and utilization of global data and pursuing unique security control and standardization policy proliferate, it hinders efforts to promote free trade. To prevent these protectionist policies from expanding and promote liberalization of the digital economy and enhanced competitiveness, use the joint recommendations developed by major global ICT industry organizations and promote them for incorporation at G20 digitalization ministerial meetings and in G20 summit agreements.● Promotion of free trade and economic partnershipsWhile the TPP exit of US is determined, support the early conclusion of negotiations such as Japan-EU EPA, Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), WTO new Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA), etc.● Efforts to create international rulesWith respect to regulations on conflict mineral resources, etc. in the US, EU and others., facilitate activities to solve problems and support the business operations of member companies in this regard.

Response to technology policyAs part of efforts to enhance international competitiveness and basic domestic technology of the IT/electronics industry, cooperate with related organizations to implement/boost the industry for Society 5.0 and study and promote technological policies/measures to promote research and development.

Toward the promotion of Society 5.0, to clarify JEITA’s focus on the growing field as a whole, reconstruct it into an organization that can facilitate horizontal cooperation between related departments. Also, investigate the state of the membership system to respond to the intake of the growing field and work on creating flexible organization.

Society 5.0 was promoted as a super-smart society, in its fifth embodiment, following hunting society, agrarian society, industrial society and information society. This is a national vision targeting a human-centered society where, by realizing a super-smart society, national economic growth and efforts to solve domestic and international social issues are achieved, allowing people to live comfortably and full of vitality.

Investigation into Organizational Frameworks to Respond to New Businesses

For physical work (transport/manufacturing), it has become possible to tap into the power of machinery instead of that of human and animals.a

In both physical/information work, the ability to automatically identify and utilize data based on real-world information has allowed machinery to implement judgment and operate autonomously.

The power of machinery can now be harnessed for relatively complex physical work and in some information industries (toward mass production).

Information work has also been made more efficient. In record/process/communication of information, physical/mental/economic constraints were relaxed.

To realize Society 5.0, there

is a need to improve the

business environment and

solve common issues. To

enhance competitiveness

of member companies and

fulfill social responsibilities

incumbent on industry, we

continue striving to address

industry-wide issues, etc.

In the area of digital trade, based on premises of global data distribution and utilization, protectionist trends have intensified, such as promoting unique security regulations and standardization policy, etc. and become factors inhibiting the promotion of free trade. To stop these protectionist policies from proliferating, promote the l iberal izat ion of the digital economy and enhance corporate competitiveness, industries of Japan, the US and Europe are joining forces and engage within the governments of each country and government‐level talks. JEITA cooperate to promote free trade/economic partnership agreements (FTA/EPA) and WTO negotiations including the Information Technology Agreement (ITA) and Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA), etc. and help create favorable environment to enhance international competitiveness.

The Kansai Branch is reaching about 70 years in operation since it was first established in 1948 and currently cooperates with various relevant bodies, including the Kansai Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry and promotes business while targeting regional revitalization with CPS/IoT. Also, working alongside small and medium-sized ventures and a range of businesses, they spearhead activities to create new business opportunities and markets, including “gatherings of equipment/component manufacturers”, etc. and efforts to convey the latest information, including open seminars on technologies/environment, etc. They also actively promote Human resaure development activities rooted in the community, such as university lectures by member companies and trial electronic craft-work classes for elementary school students, etc.

The exhibition includes area configuration based on usage scenarios to give visitors an inside look into a future where Society 5.0 becomes a reality. As well as the exhibition area, nearly 150 conferences are held over four days, covering from keynote lectures to exclusive sessions with wide-ranging CPS/IoT themes. Recently, moreover, as well as the IT/electronics industry, for various other industries including mobility, finance, healthcare and agriculture, etc. using CPS/IoT, the exhibition has featured a whole series of participation by exhibitors and accelerated co-creation with different businesses. CEATEC JAPAN promotes the realization of Society 5.0 as Japan’s first “innovation showcase”; paving the way for the fourth industrial revolution.

As a professional sound, video and commu-nication exhibition, “Inter BEE” has advanced alongside the development of broadcasting media since 1965, and 2017 will mark the 53rd edition of this event. Over the last half-century, broadcasting media has developed and grown from monochrome to color, analog to digital and SDTV to HDTV, while 2016 marked a new start toward 4K/8K broadcasting. In future Inter BEE aims to be a general media event covering all the technical elements of “making (producing)”, “sending (transmitting)” and “receiving (experiencing)” of contents, toward 2020 when Japan will be in the world spotlight as will the slogan behind our wish: “Tell the world of the possibilities of new media.”

The JEITA venture award is to commend venture companies expected to contributeto economic development, not only general development of electronics and IT industries and it aims to help establish co-creation/cooperation/ecosystems among member and venture companies as well as support for the latter. Since its establishment in March 2016, eight venture companies were honored with the award in the first year and seven in the second year respectively.
