IOST will join hands with CRYPTO TIMES to hold a seminar on "Digital Future - Web3 Leading Regional Revitalization" at Akita International University in Japan

On December 1st, IOST will join hands with CRYPTO TIMES, Japan’s leading Web3 media platform, to hold an educational seminar at Akita International University with the theme of “Digital Future - Web3 Leading Regional Revitalization”.

Among them, Meta Akita, headquartered in Akita Prefecture and has made important contributions to the development of Web3 and regional revitalization, and the team of Platinum Egg, an important ecological partner of IOST (Platinum Egg has always played a key role in building the regional economy and regional development through blockchain technology), will participate in the event as partners and supporting organizations, respectively.

IOST and Akita International University’s first blockchain education event (seminar) began in 2018. Mr. Hirata, who participated in the inaugural symposium, and Mr. Nisato of Akita International University played a key role in the joint planning and management of this joint collaboration with Crypto Times.

This industry-academia co-creation seminar aims to link industry professionals to conduct practical exchanges on the latest progress of blockchain technology and market trends, and show students how blockchain can be applied to practical business scenarios and regional revitalization, so as to promote common learning and growth in the field of scientific and technological innovation and regional revitalization.

During the planning of the event, the IOST and Crypto Times teams received many messages of anticipation and comments from Akita International University alumni.

Mr. Shota Hirata said, "Blockchain is a technology that enables verifiable trust in the digital world. Blockchain technology allows users to collaborate with other users on the Internet in real time to create new value that has never been seen before, but revitalization of a region like Akita, which is facing real-world challenges such as an aging population and a declining population, is a major challenge. In this regard, I look forward to discussing with the students of AIU how to use blockchain technology to promote the revitalization and development of the region through this seminar. ”

Tatsuya Nisato, a fourth-year student at Akita International University, said, "In recent years, many regions, including Akita Prefecture, have faced various challenges. As the regional economy shrinks, it is no longer possible to maintain basic living conditions in some areas - the efficiency of administrative services is reduced and the social infrastructure is lacking. But the situation varies from region to region, and there can be no one-size-fits-all solution. Therefore, it is necessary to base ourselves on reality and promote regional revitalization in accordance with local conditions. This event provides an excellent opportunity for enterprises and Web3.0 companies committed to empowering regional revitalization. I’m excited to be able to think about the future of our local community through this event. ”

The symposium will be an important milestone in the collaboration between industry leaders and academia, aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, and promote students’ in-depth understanding of how blockchain technology can be used to drive innovation and support regional revitalization through hands-on lessons and interactive discussions.
