I gave a keynote speech at the Salesforce World Tour Tokyo 2015.

Moving forward, we will work with Salesforce to promote STEM education programs (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) in collaboration with elementary schools, libraries, and other local educational institutions.

As our first initiative, we’ve launched programming workshops in Sumida Ward with an eye toward introducing programming into the curriculum starting next school year!

In addition, with regard to programming, we are providing support to schools to promote programming education through pilot projects conducted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, as well as through collaborative initiatives with various companies.
