Joint
governmental/CoolJapan Personnel Development Research Conference
In
addition to providing an introduction to CiP as a plan for personnel
development in a digital content SEZ, I gave a presentation on 'digital super
schools,' a concept which aims to break down the schoolhouse walls.
I'll
give an overview of the contents here.
The
CiP concept is moving forwards with a content innovation program in Takeshiba
in Tokyo's Minato Ward, creating a base there which integrates Pop and Tech.
Built
on 1.5 hectares of redeveloped waterfront land, the digital testbed and
clustring bring together the cutting edge of content, media, IT, and the
Intenet of Things(IoT), and will open for business right before the 2020
olympics.
We
want to make Tech and Pop into something you could only find in Japan, a fun
and interesting town that represents a kind of fusion of Silicone Valley and
Hollywood. It will be a place where you can do everything from research and
education to business activities.
Keio
University, which I'm affiliated with, will be moving in and we've also reached
out to other schools such as Stanford for partnerships. We'd also like to get a
manga/anime trade for one of the residents. At the same time, we're soliciting
the participation of an NPO which teaches programming to children.
In
addition, we'd like to attract/create funds which can support the business as
it gets off the ground, and engage in some energetic business matching. We're also considering a Startup SEZ using
blockchain. CiP Council, the parent organization, has the participation of
approximately 60 businesses and organizations running the gamut from telecom,
broadcasting, music, anime, games, education, and venture support.
The
location has been certified as a national strategic SEZ and we want to break
past the restrictions we've been subject to in the past.
We're
currently considering various deregulation proposals such as SEZs for airwaves,
copyright, and robotics.
For
example, as a SEZ for airwaves, we'd like to create the world's first IoT
broadcaster focusing on sending out radiowaves for robots.
We'd
like to gather orphaned copyrights and create an archival copyright SEZ where
it would be okay for people to come and view them. With the support of the
Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), we've begun to assemble a
musical database that will become the foundation for just such a venture.
A
digital signage SEZ. Right now, in Takeshiba, the Ministry of Public Management
is developing a live demonstration featuring signage offering hospitality in
multiple languages. If we open up the city, loosening regulations on outdoor
advertisements, we could map promotions to the streets, and we'd like to make
something like that a reality.
We'll
also develop sports. We're moving forward with 'Superhuman Sports,' where
anyone can achieve super abilities by expanding human physical ability with
technology. We plan to open an international Superhuman Sports Tournament
alongside the 2020 Paralympics, and we'd like to prepare a venue in Takeshiba.
This effort is being supported by the Cabinet Secretariat's Office of Olympics
and Paralympics.
We're
making the World Otaku Institute. Every year, all across the world, a
total of approximately 20 million people actively participate in events such as
anime conventions that bring together fans of Japanese culture. This project
would be led by fellow otaku from top-level schools such as MIT, Stanford, and Beijin University. A central shrine for the community would be set up at
Takeshiba. This idea also has the support of METI.
While
moving ahead with the project, new educational facilities would be put in
place.
I'll
go into more detail about the plans for these educational facilities next time.
