Business leaders Wednesday underlined their determination to further boost digital innovation this year as part of efforts for the country to lead the global economy.
In a New Year message, Hiroaki Nakanishi, chairman of the Japan Business Federation, also known as Keidanren, said the country's most influential business lobby hopes to further develop digital technologies to make people's lives happier and solve social problems.
He said the business lobby will be committed to rule-making for digital transformation and economic structural reforms to address the graying and decreasing population in the country.
