The Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference is a place where participants from different fields and industries bring their own knowledge, collaborate across barriers, and create new knowledge. This time, the bridge of knowledge exchange went beyond national borders to the world, where participants shared and discussed their deep issues and how they can be solved. We will continue to build a knowledge manufacturing ecosystem that enables us to cross the bridges we have built from Kagawa and Setouchi to solve the world's deep issues by holding super interdisciplinary conferences in the future. The next Kagawa Forum is scheduled for Saturday, December 2, 2023, and we look forward to hearing from you if you are interested in participating as a poster, booth, or partner company.
