Short description:
Prime Minister Kishida of Japan laid out his "Vision for a Digital Garden City Nation"
and Japan's "Green Transformation"--also known as "GX"--as key policy agendas.
The country's rural communities are now on the forefront of both digital transformation
and the new green revolution. But will Japan's local communities be able to succeed in
building digitally friendly, green cities for the future? To help us answer these questions,
we are joined by a panel of globally-minded experts to look at the implications of
these policies for both Japan's rural communities as well as the national
and global economy as a whole.
