Overview of the Signing Ceremony

  • In order to realize "A digital society where no one left behind," Minister Kono stated that with the cooperation of various organizations and companies, more than 23000 people have been appointed to the "Digital Promotion Committee" to support basic operation methods of smartphones.
    In addition, Junior Chamber of Japan has many young people aged 20 to 40 who are familiar with digital technology on a daily basis, and I expressed my hope that members from all over Japan will become digital promotion committee members, support people who are unfamiliar with digital technology at the time of Your Dream Project and other projects and events, and lead to the revitalization of area.
  • President Aso spoke about the "Your Dream Project," which is being worked on by the Junior Chamber of Commerce of Japan to rediscover the charms and traditions of area by ourselves and to widely spread them throughout the country and the world. He said that the project is being promoted with the aim of bringing about a virtuous cycle in area, and that the use of digital content is essential in order to convey it to a large number of people with a sense of speed, and that for this reason, there are still many people who are unfamiliar with digital, so he said that he would like to cooperate and promote it in various ways, including the efforts of the Digital Promotion Committee.
  • They then each signed a declaration that was displayed on a tablet device.
  • In Digital Agency, we will further expand the number of Digital Promotion Committee members. At the same time, we will further strengthen our efforts so that the people of Japan can realize the specific benefits of My Number Card by carefully supporting the Digital Promotion Committee members, such as how to register health insurance card as a medical institutions and how to use it at area and pharmacies, and how to use transportation applications, health applications, and other applications provided by digitalization.
