Lecture 1: "Toyama Prefecture's Childcare Support Policies"

Ms. Noriko Morimoto, Assistant Director, Child Care Support Division, Office for Children and Families, Health and Welfare Department, Toyama Prefecture

I will talk about the measures the prefecture is implementing to support child rearing, aiming to realize a "Kodomo-Mannaka Society" where people in the community support each other and no one is left behind, so that all children can grow up in a happy state (wellbeing) and engage in social activities.

Lecture 2: "The Latest Case Studies of BabyTech in Japan and the Global BabyTech Situation to Future Prospects"

Mr. Tetsuya Nagata, President, Papa Smile Inc. (Chairman of the Baby Tech Award Judging Committee)

BabyTech, a comprehensive technology area from antenatal care to childbirth and infant care, is growing at a high annual rate of 7-141 TP6T in the global market and is developing rapidly with the evolution of AI and IoT technologies. Globally, a number of innovative products such as painless blood collection devices, cry analysis AI, and pregnancy complication prediction systems have been introduced.
　This presentation will compare and analyze the latest trends overseas and the current status of the baby tech market in Japan, and explain the possibility of collaboration with the healthcare industry and new business opportunities. In Japan, where the birthrate is declining and the population is aging, the significance of using technology to improve the child-rearing environment and future prospects will be presented.
