Piloted in Fukushima and implemented across Japan
Accenture Innovation Center Fukushima (AIF) has been conducting demonstrations using digital technology with the aim of creating a next-generation society centered on citizens, based on the "Smart City Aizuwakamatsu" plan of Aizuwakamatsu City. Based on this experience, Accenture was also involved in defining the smart city architecture (city OS) of the Cabinet Office SIP. In the future, we will continue to carry out social problem solving demonstrations with companies and organizations that have advanced technologies and ideas to promote innovation. In addition, we will promote the model made in the Aizu area to the whole country after contributing to regional revitalization.
