Hello. We're Suzuki and Kurume from the Converging Technologies Laboratory. Our research group is developing "Policy Twin" technology that dramatically advances policy-making by local governments and nations.
Have you ever heard the keyword "digital twin"? A digital twin is a general term for technologies that construct and simulate a twin of the real world in a virtual space, and it is utilized in various fields such as manufacturing and smart cities. We went further and developed "Social Digital Twin" [^1],[^2] technologies to reproduce people and society in the digital world and solve social issues. And to further deepen these efforts, we are taking a further step by attempting to digitalize "Policy" itself, which forms the foundation of social design. This is the "Policy Twin" technology we are developing.
This time, we would like to introduce the full scope of this innovative Policy Twin technology and its application in actual municipalities. Aren't you excited that our real society will also evolve into a better one by freely testing policies in a digital space, creating such possibilities for new social design? Please look forward to it!
