New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO)
Technology Strategy Center (TSC)Purpose of “The Prosperous Future" Report
Technology Strategy Center◼ In recent years, new values such as well-being and diversity have been required in the international community.
◼ We conducted a co-occurrence network analysis of the components of affluence described in 29 reports on wellbeing, extracting a core value compass with six directions and 12 social visions to attain a prosperous future.

Reports on Well-being
・ Gross National Happiness(Centre for Bhutan Studies)
・Sustainable Development

Social Inclusion (Achieving a Healthy and Stable Life）
Technology Strategy Center◼ By eliminating all concerns in our daily lives from the present to the future, we aim to achievea "healthy and stable life" that allows us to enjoy true affluence.
The key is for all people to live healthy and anxietyｰfree lives
on a long-term basis.
■Overcoming lifestyle-related diseases and intractable diseases, making
medical care and nursing care available for all■Realization of fully resource-recycling food production■Realization of a society in which all people can participate without any
disparities and inequalities Equal guarantee of life, education, work, health,and housing
A society where everyone can be healthy and have foodA society where all citizens can participate and play an active role

Everyone embraces and supports each other toprotect all people from loneliness, isolation, exclusion,and friction so that they can lead long-term healthy,
comfortable lives without worries about food or
housing and feel a sense of comfort.

Every motivated people have opportunities to participate or
become independent as leading members in it, and these
independent individuals play diverse roles and participate
in open communities.
