I gave a greeting at the opening ceremony of the 22nd International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC2023) held in Pacifico-yokohama.
Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress attended the opening ceremony, which was held in Japan for the first time in 42 years, and more than 3,000 researchers from about 80 countries gathered.
I am very honored to have a lively discussion in Yokohama on innovations in system control technologies aimed at solving global social issues such as decarbonization, digitalization, aging, disasters, and pandemics. We will continue to work on attracting and supporting international conferences and medical conferences so that many people can learn about the appeal of Yokohama.
