Forum’s Purpose:

This forum is here to create an egalitarian society by effectively and efficiently providing digital benefits to the elderly by sharing examples of digital transformation (DX) that each city uses as a solution to the aging society problem. Discussing such problems is a vital part of the forum. In addition, we want to form a global city network and hold an annual forum to cooperate with each other in order to enrich the lives of seniors through the development of senior DX cities.
