Development Project on Data Sharing in Collaborative Areas and AI System to Achieve the "Connected Industries"

The five primary Connected Industries fields (automated driving/mobility services, manufacturing/robotics, biotechnologies/materials, plant/infrastructure safety management, and smart life) can be extended overseas and in other fields, and the goal of this project is to develop cross-sectoral AI systems and an industry-shared data infrastructure to contribute to the establishment of a data ecosystem that is open to startups and other new players. This project also includes the implementation of surveys covering various themes in order to realize a business environment that achieves a virtuous cycle of data sharing and utilization.

The goal of this project is to contribute to the creation of added value and the resolution of social issues with a view to capturing a 300 billion yen share of the global AI-industry market by 2026 and creating at least five globally successful unicorn companies or other newly listed companies for which equivalent growth is expected.
