On January 24th, 2021, UMADA Takaaki, Chair of API’s Social Implementation of Technology project, published Mirai wo Jisso Suru [Implementing the Future] with Eiji Press in Japanese. This book provides the result of studies and interviews collected by API’s working group on Japan’s “social implementation” – or the diffusion of technology – conducted from April 2019 to August 2020. It also includes proposals and a framework for better social implementation in Japan based on this research.
As technology develops, it requires us to significantly modify our daily behavior when implementing it in our society. Based on the case studies examined by the working group – including the history of electricity in Japan, contact tracing apps, e-signatures, remote medical systems, the remote monitoring system in Kakogawa City, Money Forward, Uber, and Airbnb – the book offers necessary tools and knowledge for entrepreneurs in this new digital era.
