Content manufacturing hub to be constructed in Takeshiba, Tokyo

 The Takeshiba CiP project, which was conceived to create a digital/contents cluster in Takeshiba at the Tokyo Bay area, has begun

 CiP. C stands for Contents, i stands for innovation, and P stands for Program. This is an idea to revolutionize society through contents. To put it in other words, C also stands for Creative, i also stands for innovative, and P also stands for Pop. It is a plan to redevelop an area 1.5ha in size in the city of Tokyo, and should be open in 2019, right before the Tokyo Olympics.
 Contents. While anime and music already exist to support the Cool Japan image, the project is not just about that. It also involves social media, digital education, big data, and a host of other concepts. The project will expand wearable technology, IoT, and the digital world, and will create a place for the production of such services, networks, and devices for the year 2020

 Tokyo is an agglutination of many small cities. Shibuya, Shinjuku, Akihabara, Shiodome, and Akasaka/Roppongi all have various hubs of business, namely music, fashion, anime, television, and advertising respectively. In the midst of this, what is the role of Takeshiba? Takeshiba will be the entrance of Japan from the skies, a place to welcome overseas visitors from Haneda. It is also in a position where the sea stretches directly in front of it.
 Tokyo is a capital with a sea. America, UK, France, Germany, China, Korea, India – None of these countries’ capitals have seas. Let us capitalize on the sea in Tokyo, and in Takeshiba.

 This base will be opened in 2019 to welcome visitors for the Olympics and Paralympics, and to release information to worldwide.
 I am the overall producer of this base. I will advance the following aspects: “Research and development”, “nurturing of talent”, and “development of businesses”.
 We will provide an incubation area to nurture talent from the research and development arm of the digital and content-based world, which is advancing on an international scale, and obtain the services, business, and enterprises that it gives birth to. We will match business together and support their international expansion. We will further research on issues that arise from then on. And we will continue to produce capabilities in conjunction with industries, the government, and academia.
