Vision for Tomorrow is a regional partner community project of the World Economic Forum in collaboration with consulting firm Accenture Japan Ltd. In short, the project aims to contribute to the world by Japan's experience together with today's advanced technology.
The concept matches the ideal of the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF), dubbed Davos after the Swiss resort at which it is held, where global leaders in politics, business, academia and other fields discuss various global agendas and examine how to make the world a better place. This year's conference will be held from Jan. 20 to 23.
The Vision for Tomorrow project came about following a speech delivered by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Davos in January 2014, in which he said Japan should take a more active role in solving various global problems.
