2022 Digital Day logo image. In the center of the logo, it says,

Since 2021, Digital Agency has been creating Digital Day (* 1) as an opportunity to regularly reflect, experience, and review digital. We aim to improve the momentum of society as a whole toward digitalization by implementing various initiatives that utilize digital technology services across the fence between the public and private sectors. In 2022, we will set October 2 (Sun) and 3 (Mon) as "Digital Days" and establish October as "Digital Month" to promote efforts to create "opportunities" for the people to experience digital.

After 2022, "the first Sunday and Monday of October every year shall be Digital Day" and "October every year shall be Digital Month". Digital Day in 2022 will be October 2 (Sun) and 3 (Mon).

The 2022 Digital Day logo image is displayed on a monitor, and MAKISHIMA Karen Minister for Digital Transformation stands to the right of the monitor with a hand sign of the logo.

Let's touch! We would like to ask for the support of many companies and organizations under the theme of #digital power.

Digital Day was held on October 10 (Sun) and 11 (Mon) last year. Even though it was the first year, 746 companies and organizations with a wide variety of business types took action from all over Japan, and we were able to receive a lot of attention and participation. As the content of the action, sales and campaigns limited to this day, DX seminars, programming seminars, smartphone classes, digital music festivals, etc. were held, and it became an anniversary that served as a "trigger" for promoting digital society.

On 2022 Digital Day, we are looking forward to the support of more companies and organizations under the theme of "Let's Touch! #Power of Digital."

Comment by MAKISHIMA Karen Minister for Digital Transformation

This year, under the theme of "Let's Touch! #Power of Digital," we are planning various contents to make it a day when society as a whole regularly reflects, experiences, and reviews digital. We hope that "Digital Day" will be exciting in various parts of Japan through the cooperation of industry, academia, and government.

Comments from Mr. Jun Murai (Professor of Keio University), Chairman of the "Digital Day" Review Committee

The second "Digital Day" and now the "Month of Digital Day" have been established! What new things have started between me and digital? By spending such time together, the future of Japan will be created!

Comments from Yoichi Ochiai, Media Artist, Digital Day Review Committee

The period has changed from two days to one month, and I am glad that it is changing from an event to a habit. This year, I think it is important to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic and improve the digital lag that has become clear over the past three years. I hope I can use the lag in digitalization as a source of growth like reverse innovation.

Recruitment of Supporting Companies and Organizations

We are looking for companies and organizations that can support "Digital Day." We would like to promote Japanese digitalization with the help of more companies and organizations than last year.
