In the first part of the session, we discussed local trends andfuture needs regarding the development of smart cities in ASEAN.
On the other hand, in order for the Japanese side to develop
urban development as a package, rather than just developing
individual solutions to these needs, it is necessary for the relevant
players in industry, government, academia, etc. to understandtheir respective strengths and collaborate strategically.
In this session, Japanese companies that are actually involved
in ASEAN urban development in various value chains will
introduce their recent initiatives and the knowledge and lessons
learned from them. The session will also discuss how to bridge
