This event, held prior to Expo 2010 Osaka-Kansai, aims to provide an opportunity for citizens to experience wellbeing, or “a future society that brings even one more smile into our daily lives,” through a variety of programs, and to think about and create the future together. Many citizens, companies, and local governments will present a wide variety of programs that emphasize coexistence and symbiosis with the natural world, culture, lifestyle, and cutting-edge technology.
Izumiotsu City has been working in public-private partnership and citizen co-creation to create a leading “model for the future” that solves common social issues throughout Japan toward the realization of a wellbeing future society. We believed it was necessary to deliver these efforts in a way that would make them more known and accessible to citizens. Therefore, we decided to hold the event on the grounds that public dissemination of the initiatives to citizens and local communities will promote research and development in the public and private sectors, strengthen regional cooperation, and foster civic pride.
Up to now, Izumiotsu City has been developing initiatives to solve social issues, such as the ASHIYUBI Project and demonstration experiments using AI, utilizing the city’s fields, based on the principles of public-private partnership and citizen creation.
Through this event, citizens will be able to participate in a wide variety of programs and opportunities offered by companies, local governments, and the community, discover new discoveries and awareness, find their own roles, connect with others and the community, and improve their mental health, physical health, and social health. We hope to use the Osaka-Kansai Expo as an opportunity to give back to society by creating a sustainable form of society in Izumiotsu, and by proposing it as a model case for the future of Osaka and the Kansai region as a whole.
