【About TEAMZ WEB3 / AI SUMMIT 2024】

The TEAMZ WEB3 / AI SUMMIT represents an evolution from the TEAMZ WEB3 SUMMIT 2023, previously recognized as one the most significant and influential events in Japan’s Web3 landscape. For 2024, we’re expanding our focus to encompass both the burgeoning realms of Web3 and AI, two domains that have seen explosive growth recently.

With our rallying cry, “WEB3 / AI: The Future”, we aim to facilitate vibrant discussions on the trajectory of the Web3 sector post-2024 and the emerging societal and economic paradigms being shaped by AI. Thought leaders, pioneers, and experts in Web 3 and AI, hailing from both Japan and overseas, will offer a kaleidoscope of insights on technological applications, market dynamics, and innovative solutions. Additionally, interactive sessions are planned to deepen the discourse among attendees from diverse industries and nations.

This summit anticipates a gathering of over 100 VCs and investors, more than 100 exhibitors, and 120+ esteemed experts and scholars from the Web3 and AI sectors. We also expect a global audience of over 5,000 attendees.

Our objective remains clear: to champion the introduction and evolution of both Web3 and AI. Through highlighting the groundbreaking solutions offered by pioneers in these sectors we aspire to foster their wider acceptance and tangible impact in the real world.

【Web3 / AI：New Key to Japan’s Breakthrough】

The Japanese government has designated Web3 as a crucial element of its growth strategy and is actively cultivating the Web3 business environment through a range of measures, such as regulatory flexibility. In addition to this, the Japanese government has publicly stated that it will develop an aggressive approach to the use of AI and aims to be a world leader in the field.

Web3 and AI have a high affinity for each other, and their integration has unlimited potential. The application of blockchain technology to AI training data and the use of AI data analytics in decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocols, are just a few of the possibilities.

By building an ecosystem that integrates Web3 and AI, Japan has the potential to pioneer related projects on the world stage.

Japan’s advancement in Web3 and AI necessitates the expansion of its business sectors. In alignment with this major companies are aggressively investing in Web3 and AI projects. Furthermore, a myriad of industries, including telecommunications, finance and manufacturing, are integrating these technologies into their operations. Concurrently, there is a surge in Web3 and AI projects initiated by startups. This has led to the creation of innovative business models related to daily life, such as NFT concert tickets featuring exclusive videos and AI-driven apps that allow users to virtually try on clothes.

Let’s usher in a renaissance in Japanese society by fusing Web3 and AI in the transformative year of 2024!
