GDX Online Conference: Join the Conversation on Digital Transformation

The General Incorporated Association for Digital Transformation (GDX) will host an important online report on August 21, 2025. This conference, focused on the second survey of the 2025 fiscal year concerning digital transformation (DX) among local governments, will provide critical insights into current trends and challenges facing municipalities across Japan. In response to significant interest, we have increased participant slots from 200 to 300, ensuring more local government officials and related businesses can access this valuable information.

Background of the Conference

Digital transformation has become imperative for local governments aiming to enhance resident services and improve operational efficiency. However, many municipalities face common hurdles such as a lack of skilled personnel, budget constraints, and insufficient expertise. To support these local governments in tackling such challenges, GDX conducts regular surveys assessing the awareness and actual situations regarding DX in municipalities. The findings of this year's survey will be presented in this conference, allowing us to share useful insights widely with attendees.

Key Takeaways

Participants in the online report can expect to gain:

• - A clear understanding of the progress and status of DX initiatives across local governments.
• - An overview of specific challenges faced by different municipalities and approaches taken to address them.
• - Insights and actionable recommendations on what is required for future digital transformation efforts in local governments.
