===4:20pm~ INFRASTRUCTURE session: “How emerging technologies bring innovation to tackle island issues?”===
In the Philippines, which consists of more than 7,000 islands, and where population growth continues and long-term economic growth is expected, infrastructure development is important as a foundation for social development. In addition to the design of large-scale infrastructure such as ports, airports, railways, roads, and urban developments led by the government, the use of next- generation energy and mobility is expected as a starting point for researchers and deep tech startups. In this session, we will call panelists who create new technologies in Japan and the Philippines, and discuss how infrastructure technology originating in the Philippines can solve the challenges unique to island countries.
