The “Future Life Expo: Future City” project will serve as a stage to highlight the future city of Society 5.0, a human-centered society that balances economic advancement with the resolution of social problems through a system that highly integrates cyberspace and physical space.
The exhibition will provide an opportunity for visitors to ask a variety of questions and think together about the vision of the future city through an exhibition in which the cyber and physical fields are mutually linked and fused. It will also be an opportunity to demonstrate the digital innovations and new values that will lead to the future city, born from the cross-fertilization of various knowledge and ideas that transcend the boundaries of companies, organizations, and industries.
The exhibition will consist of a “Theme Exhibition,” a “Common Exhibition,” and an “Individual Company Exhibition.” Each thematic area will showcase various innovations that support the “Future City,” allowing visitors to experience the “Future City” together with the cyber field experience.
● Social evolution (change): An easy-to-understand introduction of the concept of “Society 5.0”
