2. Background
2.1. Fujitsu stands with Web3 and AI
The World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting 2023 theme "Cooperation in a Fragmented World" drew attention as a sign of the transition to a decentralized structure. In response to these changes, Fujitsu has developed multiple Web3 (blockchain) based products.
Furthermore, we believe that the evolution of Web3 and AI can help to address the negative aspects that have been brought by ICT technology and play a key role in the creation of a new social economy.
Fujitsu is a strong advocate for open innovation with a history of commitment to the concept.
In the Web3 and AI field, Fujitsu provides 2 platforms to accelerate open innovation: the “Fujitsu Research Portal” and “Fujitsu Web3 Acceleration Platform”.
