The objectives of the visit are to strengthen existing ties and open up new opportunities and relations in one of the world’s leading economies, on topics such as technology and research, particularly in the fields of artificial intelligence, aerospace, robotics, and innovation in agriculture, as well as to promote products of excellence, typicality, and the identity of the territory on the occasion of the opening of the Week of Italian Cuisine in the World.
The meetings will be held in Tokyo, Ibaraki and Osaka in different institutional contexts, such as the United Nations University, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, the University of Tsukuba, and the Riken Center for Computational Science, on the occasion of the launch of the Week of Italian Cuisine in the World, while the journey towards the appointment of Expo 2025 in Osaka begins.
In the delegation are the region’s universities, the Mech, Agrifood, Health, and Greentech clusters, business associations, research centres, and training institutions in the fields of mechanics, health, agrifood, energy, and environmental sustainability.
