Thinking about the underlying philosophy of Web3x activities in local cities and its impact
(Summary)
Ureshino City, Saga Prefecture; Nishiaizu Town, Fukushima Prefecture; and Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture. In each of these areas, efforts to create new communities have begun using the Web3 movement and activities. In these days when it is said that communities are being hollowed out not only in urban areas but also in rural areas, we will consider what kind of ideas support the new communities that we can see in each region.

The Frontline of Web3×Primary Industry: Current Status and Future
(Summary)
At first glance, the primary industry seems to be far away from Web3. Agriculture, fisheries, and other primary industries with a mountain of issues are actually hot areas where Web3 initiatives are being launched, not to mention digitalization. What is the future and challenges that Web3 will bring to the primary industry?

Web3x Evaluation Design for Culture and Arts – How to capture the value that is falling down the drain
(Summary)
The world of culture and art produces inexpressible emotions. However, the indices by which society measures value are far rougher in granularity than words. As a result, the diverse values of culture and art spill over from society. However, this is not limited to culture and the arts, but can also be said of community activities, conservation efforts, and the educational sector. This session will consider the technology to scoop up not only short-term economic value, but also the diverse values that are required from a long-term perspective.
