We are honored to announce that our company has been selected for the "Initiative for Co-creating the Future" (ICF) project, promoted by the Mitsubishi Research Institute, Inc. (MRI).
The ICF, as detailed below, is a significant endeavor aimed at co-creating and socially implementing innovative solutions to the various challenges facing modern society. We are privileged by this selection and are committed to actively contributing to the ICF's activities.
About the Initiative for Co-creating the Future (ICF)
The Initiative for Co-creating the Future (ICF) has a mission to co-create and socially implement solutions to societal issues through open innovation involving multi-stakeholders, thereby generating collective impact.
Background and Problem Awareness
The 20th century was an era that enjoyed affluent societies and longevity, benefiting from industrialization and economic growth. However, in the 21st century, many developed countries have shifted from growth to saturation in various aspects and are facing serious challenges such as global warming and aging populations with declining birthrates. Meanwhile, emerging countries continue to experience population explosions, and their challenge is to escape poverty and achieve growth and prosperous societies. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic, which spread globally in 2020, has shaken the foundations of our social and economic systems.
What is Required for Future Society
Against this backdrop, the ICF believes it is essential to reconfigure future social systems into "autonomous, decentralized, and cooperative" models and to pursue "new forms of affluence" in an era where lifespans of 100 years are becoming common.
ICF Structure
To realize this vision, the "Platinum Society Study Group," which has advocated for reforms as a "leading country in problem-solving" for a decade, and the "Future Co-creation Innovation Network," which has pioneered efforts to solve social issues through innovation ahead of the SDGs, have integrated to launch the "Initiative for Co-creating the Future (ICF)." The ICF aims to make proposals for social transformation and realize them by building an ecosystem for future co-creation based on its comprehensive membership base.
