Introduction

The Cool Japan DX Summit 2025 is set to take place on November 21, 2025, orchestrated by the Cool Japan DX Summit Executive Committee, with Vpon managing its operations. This event will focus on digital transformation (DX) as a crucial driver for Japan's economic growth, fostering innovative ideas and collaborative opportunities across various industries.

Purpose of the Summit

The overarching goal of the Cool Japan strategy revolves around three pivotal aspects: (1) effective dissemination of information, (2) international expansion of products and services, and (3) promotion of inbound domestic consumption. By harnessing these elements, the initiative aims to captivate global interest and contribute significantly to Japan’s economic development.

As Japan strives for economic growth, enhancing business models through digital transformation is non-negotiable. The Cool Japan market, aiming for a staggering 50 trillion yen economy by 2033, necessitates the sharing of insights between the public and private sectors. The summit's purpose lies in facilitating industry-wide DX and opportunities for inter-industry collaboration.
