Have you ever experienced the frustration of working hard to develop a technology with the expectation that it will one day be useful to the world, only to find that the market environment, rather than the technological barrier, has prevented its implementation in society?

Have you ever given up on a project to launch a new business based on your company’s proud technological seeds because you were unable to create a scenario that takes the market environment into consideration?
Through dialogue with those involved in R&D, we wanted to think together about what the market environment means and how we can connect technological development to business.

From the age of generative AI to the age of robotics, how can technological development be commercialized with politics, culture, rules, and ethics on its side?
What opportunities and what risks can we assume?
What is the importance of politics, culture, rules, and ethics in technology development that we should keep in mind?

Focusing on “politics,” “culture,” “rules,” and “ethics,” which seem to be the most complicated aspects of the market environment, we will discuss the basic knowledge and thinking skills required as we move from the age of generative AI to the age of robotics.
As we move from the age of generative AI to the age of robotics, how can Japan find a way to win the battle against the U.S. and China and the position of Singapore and the BRICS?
We will discuss the elements of politics, culture, rules, and ethics that are indispensable for social implementation from the perspectives of both the business frontlines of R&D and technology planning who are working on technology development in the AI and robotics fields and experts who want to learn how technology and business development are related to geopolitics, in order to gain hints.
