[Appointment] Member of the Kanazawa City DX Council

I have been appointed to the Kanazawa City DX Council.

Some time ago, I was invited to participate in a Kanazawa City panel titled “Study Group on the Future of Cities in the Post-COVID-19 Era,” alongside Oriza Hirata and Hiroki Komazaki (Florence), and it seems I was approached for this project because of that connection.

Today, I had the opportunity to speak with President Osawa of Kanazawa Institute of Technology, and I was deeply impressed by the system they have established that fosters collaboration across departmental, university, and industry-academia boundaries, enabling students to learn through real-world implementation.

I absolutely have to go to Kanazawa!!!!
