Zhang Ying delivered a keynote speech under the theme of "New Digital Era, New Opportunities for Cities". She pointed out that the current wave of digitalization sweeping the world has profoundly affected all aspects of human social development, especially during the COVID-19, which has played a huge role, reflecting significant advantages, and also provided new forms and opportunities for exchanges and cooperation between different countries and cities. Digital transformation and development is a new opportunity for the development of countries and cities around the world, and is the only way for enterprises to create long-term development advantages. Shanghai has made every effort to build an international digital capital with world influence. It has made positive progress in the three areas of economy, life and governance, and promoted the construction of a number of benchmark scenarios. Based on the vast Chinese market and the booming ecology of Shanghai, we look forward to greater cooperation between Chinese and Japanese enterprises in the field of digital innovation.
Lu Ming delivered a keynote speech under the theme of "Cities in the View of Big Data". He believes that big data can provide a new research paradigm for understanding the spatial structure of urban agglomerations and cities, and can also become a production factor and driving force of the digital economy. In the view of big data, cities show the characteristics of the intelligent Internet of Things, where everything is interconnected and the virtual and the real are interlaced, leading to essential changes in the city's ecological environment. People's living, employment and consumption as well as the relationship between cities need to be re recognized and repositioned. High density cities provide new application scenarios for big data, which can provide new decision-making basis for urban management policies. It can be seen that rich application scenarios and massive high-quality data constitute a huge advantage of China's digital economy.
Sato Longliang, standing in the position of administrative officials, shared "Japan's overall operation oriented to digitalization", inspected and analyzed Japan's digital policy from different perspectives, such as the promotion of communication policy by the Ministry of General Affairs and the promotion of government digitalization by the cabinet office, and introduced Japan's system design and actual situation in terms of data trust function. In the context of the outbreak of new coronary pneumonia and the acceleration of social digitalization, he also introduced in detail the problems that need to be solved at present, the role of the government, and the efforts and measures to promote the flexible use of enterprise data.
Shunming Shouno gave a speech entitled "Operation of Osaka Prefecture (Wide Area Autonomous Body) in Smart City". He pointed out that Osaka, Japan's second city, decided to promote the construction of a smart city in order to win in the urban competition. The biggest goal of this measure is to improve the quality of life of residents, and the biggest feature is that local governments and private companies promote social practice projects through the citizens' joint ecosystem. In the future, the social infrastructure will be integrated on the basis of extensive data cooperation, and digital services will be extended to the whole region.
The subsequent round table forum was chaired by Takan Fukuda, Vice Consul General of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai. Ma Junjie, the founder and CEO of Twin Technologies, Yu Qianghua, the founder and CEO of Viking, Song Ye, the chairman of Yunant Zhilian (Shanghai) Information Technology Co., Ltd., Chai Shan Zhengming, the supervisor of the newly established company of Aichi County Bureau of Economy and Industry, and Tomohiko Li, the director of the Business Innovation and Venture Capital Office of KDDI's Shanghai Representative Office, discussed the "new cooperation in the digital era" on the basis of the keynote speech. They respectively described the market positioning and characteristics of Chinese and Japanese enterprises, introduced various scenarios of digital technology application and the cutting-edge trend of industrial layout, and sought the possibility of business cooperation between Chinese and Japanese enterprises in the field of digitalization.
Ma Junjie said that the mission and vision of Twin Digital Technology is to simplify the digital, so that everyone can enter the mirror image of the digital world, to achieve a real symbiosis between the virtual and the real. China and Japan have great cooperation space in digital production, digital design and other aspects. The difficulty lies in the language problem. We should explore and create an enterprise cooperation environment without language barrier.
Yu Qianghua first introduced the main achievements of Viking, pointing out that digital finance makes the digital economy more efficient. He believed that China and Japan have cooperation prospects in digital finance, digital regulation, digital operation and other aspects, and looked forward to exchanges and cooperation with Japanese enterprises.

Aichi County has cooperated with many universities in China, the United States, France, Singapore and other countries, and has reached an initial intention of cooperation with Shanghai Jiaotong University, looking forward to building a global community for entrepreneurial companies。
Mr. Matsui believes that digitalization is developing rapidly in China, especially in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Emerging technologies have been fully embedded in economic activities and social life. In the digital era, there are many areas where Chinese and Japanese enterprises can strengthen exchanges and cooperation, such as robots, mobile communications and other fields.
Finally, the closing summary was chaired by Cai Yuping, Deputy Director of the Japan Research Center of Shanghai Jiaotong University, and Fukuda Gao Gan and Ji Weidong respectively summarized the meeting.
Fukuda Gaogan first expressed his sincere thanks to all the guests for their support. He further pointed out that 50 years ago, China Japan relations were almost equivalent to China Japan diplomatic relations, but now China Japan relations have gone far beyond China Japan diplomatic relations, involving different aspects such as cities, economy, society and culture, providing a broad space for deeper exchanges and cooperation between China and Japan.
Ji Weidong shared his feelings on China Japan cooperation in the digital era in his summary. He pointed out that digitalization is not only a disruptive technological innovation, but also a social system revolution. It is a common topic of the world to promote economic growth, build a more affluent society, and realize the paradigm shift of national governance with the help of the Internet, big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. Under the digital background, how to realize cross-border data circulation and how to promote third-party market cooperation are the key to improve the digital competitiveness of East Asia, and also the development direction of achieving higher level mutually beneficial cooperation among countries in the new era. Looking forward to the next fiftieth anniversary of China Japan economic cooperation, industrial digitalization and digital industrialization will be new growth points and highlights. Here, the two countries can complement each other's strengths, so as to maintain peace and prosperity in the Asia Pacific region, benefit the world and benefit mankind as a whole.
