WebX holding background
In the Web3 field, Japan is attracting unprecedented attention from the world, backed by the Japanese government’s backing and examples of major companies (see below).
- May 2010: Prime Minister Kishida expressed his intention to develop a Web3 environment in London, England.
- June 2010: Added “Environmental improvement for Web3 promotion” item to the government’s basic policy 2022
- November 2010: NTT DoCoMo announced investment of 600 billion yen in three Web fields
- November 2010: Nippon Keidanren announces Web3 promotion strategy
- December 2010: Revise tax system related to Web3 in the ruling party’s tax reform outline
While the decline in Japan’s economic strength and competitiveness has been a long-standing issue, this field, which has strengths in cross-border (international reach), is the content industry of Japan, which is called an “IP (intellectual property)” powerhouse such as anime, manga, and games. One of the reasons is that it has the potential to greatly support the DX (digital transformation) of various industries and the advancement of global businesses.
In this way, Japan has begun to make serious efforts to create new innovations and businesses, but the closed environment against the background of the language environment and the development of an environment such as regulations that are not in line with reality have become bottlenecks. It is also pointed out that the current situation is lagging behind other countries.
In addition, many Japanese businesses have highlighted various issues in terms of knowledge and business idea building, corporate networks, business personnel, etc. to promote Web3 business.
Against this background, CoinPost believes that the establishment of an international conference that can establish an international exchange and a distribution network for information and human resources in the three Web fields is essential for the growth of the entire Japanese blockchain industry in the Asian market. increase.
In July 2023, the Tokyo International Forum, which will be equipped with a “simultaneous interpretation system”, will start working on this event where visitors from all over the world will gather together. We would like to make this conference a place to support the government’s Web3 reform and become a bridge between Web3 and existing industries.
