 ■Minister of Digital Affairs Hirai and others Gathered to Announce the CiP Manifesto.

The CiP Council, based in the cutting-edge smart building "Tokyo Port City Takeshiba," held an opening event.

The CiP Council has been working to establish a center for "Content x Digital" in the special national strategic zone of Takeshiba.

Since its founding in 2015, many projects have been carried out simultaneously. The CiP Council has been triggering innovation in the content industry and as a hub connecting media, IT, universities, public authorities, governments, and domestic, international communities.

First, the CiP Manifesto with the four quadrants: content, business, education, and technology, was announced.

Inheriting the CiP vision from the council's inauguration, it was determined to make further progress with the completion of the base as an opportunity.

There was also a report on the "Super e-Sports School," a community that provides education through e-Sports, the "Super Entrepreneurship School," a community of educational institutions, mentors, and VCs working on entrepreneurship education, and the "Super Human Sports," a project to develop a sport that unites people and machines by fusing body and technology.

In response to the series of presentations with the word "super," Representative Takuya Hirai said, "Super means Beyond Limits. It means beyond conventional ways of doing things and preconceived notions.”

Mr. Hirai then went directly to the LDP presidential election and became the Minister of State for Digital Affairs, the main focus of the new administration.

In addition, nine projects were announced, including those related to contents such as "SYNC NETWORK JAPAN" and "World Otaku Research Institute," agents for sending out music and other contents to the world, and those related to technology such as "City & Tech Committee," which will create an entire city that implements all advanced technologies such as robotics, AI, IoT, and 5G.

Also, Station Ai is a start-up-support-based project promoted by Aichi Prefecture to generate innovation, and the CiP Council supports it. Aichi Prefecture's governor Hideaki Omura made a remote announcement showing the diversity of CiP projects and the possibility for applications in other areas.

The CiP Council is planning a Pop&Tech real event, “some humor for tomorrow” (Change Tomorrow), known as Chomoro, where pop culture and technology are merged. It continues to plan Takeshiba to the rest of Japan and the world.

On Christmas Day, Minister Hirai held an event to announce the "Digital Day," and CiP Council will support the Digital Day. First, we cooperated in compiling video messages from celebrities in the field of sports and other content.
