Realizing the society that highly integrates cyber and physical with data

• Increasing energy demand• Increasing foodstuffs demand• Aging society• Severe international competition• Wealth concentration/regional inequality

• Reduction of GHG emissions• Production expansion and loss reduction of foodstuffs• Social costs control regarding the aging society• Promotion of sustainable industry• Redistribution of wealth and correction of regional

inequality
