Programme details
In 1961, U.S. President John F. Kennedy called for “a new frontier,” mankind was able to stand on the Moon. Thus, even a single proposer can realize the “New Frontier”. The momentum continues to the present in the 21st century. The scientific and technological benefits that humanity has enjoyed during this period are immeasurable.
On the other hand, there exists another “new frontier” on the earth. In 2022, President Biden also proposed a vision for the eradication of cancer, following 10 years of work together by volunteers in Japan and the Government of Japan since 2015. “Cancer Eradication” is now one of the themes for building a sustainable future for ”the society where life shines brightly”.
The program discusses cutting-edge biotechnologies and innovations needed to move from “conquering cancer” to “eradicating cancer,” as well as the economic environment that will support these efforts. The program brings together Nobel laureates and researchers in cutting-edge medicine from Japan and abroad, as well as experts representing industry, government, and academia. This summit is designing a vision for the future in a cross-discussion.
