[Report] City & Tech Symposium 2019

We have published a report on the City & Tech Symposium,
a showcase of technology. Part 1: “What Is City & Tech?”
https://citytech.jp/report/ct-symposium-report1/
Part 2: “Data Circulation Infrastructure and Information Banks” https://citytech.jp/report/ct-symposium-report2/sium-report2/
