These are long-term strategic targets outlined by the cabinet of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to create innovations that will contribute to the growth of the Japanese economy toward the year 2025. A minister in charge of the project was appointed, and a “strategic council” was formed to achieve the targets. The aims are not only to promote technical innovation but also to drive technology of all kinds and create new businesses. The practices and systems that give rise to new technologies and businesses will be reconsidered, and the creation of new social mechanisms will also be brought into view.
