The movement to implement the Internet of Things (IoT), adding network connectivity to various objects in order to increase their convenience, is picking up pace around the world. The IoT Acceleration Consortium was established in Japan in October, 2015, in a collaboration between industry and academia. By cooperating with organizations in the US and Germany, which are leaders in this field, efforts are underway to establish international standards.

 

The FPCJ has invited Dr. Jun Murai, Chairman of the IoT Acceleration Consortium, and Dean and Professor of the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies at Keio University, to discuss Japan’s IoT strategy and international competiveness. Don’t miss this rare chance!
