Reports
【Reflection】
Through this program, which united speakers from diverse
fields—technology, Buddhism, art, democracy, and more—OMRON
introduced a new consciousness and worldview for discussions
on SDGs+Beyond. Central to this was the vision of a “Natural
Society” articulated in the OMRON SINIC Theory, a future
prediction model that resonates strongly with the ideals of
SDGs+Beyond.
Key insights included:
-The “Natural Society” aligns with a future where humanity,
technology, and society harmonize with natural principles.
-In this society, restraint and equilibrium are maintained
through “Space”—a form of control without a subject—where
margins and openness enable integration with nature.
-The transition from an autonomous society to a natural one
requires a new social operating system called “Plurality.”
-Even spiritual entities may become reproducible through
technology, expanding the boundaries of human experience.
Attendees expressed deep resonance, with many eager to
collaborate immediately, signaling a widening circle of shared
understanding. The live stream reached a broad audience,
making the collective contemplation of future society
profoundly meaningful. The most enduring legacy lies in the
collaborative framework for co-creation established with
opinion leaders such as Audrey Tang, Shokei Matsumoto, and
Etsuko Ichihara, alongside all participants and viewers.
This program marked the beginning of a journey toward
realizing a natural society—an event that, in 20 or 30 years,
may be remembered as the moment when these ideas first took
shape. Moving forward, OMRON will continue working with
resonators and co-creators to refine the near-future vision,
striving not only to imagine but to implement it through the
social application of technology.
【Post EXPO Initiatives】
This program marked the kickoff for co-creating a future of
SDGs+Beyond, grounded in the vision of OMRON`s SINIC Theory.
It aimed to generate conversations on “Designing a Future
Society Where Life Shines,” and successfully identified
resonators and co-creators who share this aspiration.
Emerging collaborative initiatives are already taking shape,
with plans to engage in global forums and other key events.
Moving forward, we will drive the global expansion of future
co-creation in tandem with the continued development of our
platform, ensuring that these ideas evolve into tangible
actions and shared progress.
