[EVENT] Foodtech Venture Day NEO Vol.4 ~ Machines & Devices x The Future of Food and Agriculture (8/26) NEW Japan has made its presence felt as a high-tech nation, leveraging its "manufacturing capabilities" and "integration capabilities," and has produced innovations that have excited the world since the 1980s. Although it has now fallen back from its leadership position, its knowledge of device development and mechatronics remains among the best in the world. A visit to FOOMA, the food machinery exhibition, will give you a real sense that Japan's outstanding technological capabilities are still alive and well. While FVD NEO Vol. 2 focused on the theme of "Japanese Tradition x Technology," this time the focus will be on "machines and devices." Food processes such as farming, manufacturing, and cooking always require "tools" and "machines." Even with advances in digitalization and AI, real machines and devices will ultimately be essential. That's why understanding their evolution should help paint a picture of the future of food and agriculture. Approximately 6 to 8 pioneering companies are scheduled to take to the stage on the day, and there will also be a special session at the beginning to discuss the "potential of Japanese devices." Please come and join us! Learn more
