Driving decarbonization and digitalization. Together.

 

Modern societies face a wide range of challenges. Climate change is becoming an increasingly serious threat and is having a major impact on regions around the world. In Japan, the declining birthrate and ageing population, and the consequent labour shortages, are also becoming more apparent. How to create innovations for a sustainable future? Experts from various fields from Japan and Germany will be invited to deepen the discussion.

This year's OktoberTech™ will feature a keynote speech by Nobel Prize winner in Physics, Professor Hiroshi Amano. There will also be lectures, panel sessions and demonstrations by Andreas Urschitz, Chief Marketing Officer of Infineon Technologies AG, as well as experts from industry, government and the private sector.

We look forward to welcoming you to this event!

IOWN* for a sustainable smart world

* IOWN: Innovative Optical and Wireless Network
The “IOWN” is a concept of next-generation communication infrastructure. This concept aims to realize a network and information processing infrastructure including terminals, that can provide high-speed, high-capacity communications and vast computing resources beyond the limits of the conventional infrastructures by leveraging innovative photonics-based technologies. Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, which is leading the promotion of this concept with the aim of commercializing it around 2030, will present its future prospects and efforts for global deployment.
