Programme details
Expo 2025 Osaka aims to create a data-driven society as part of Society 5.0, based on the concept of “People's Living Lab”. At the Expo site, which will be visited by a large number of people from all over the world, a significant amount of data is expected to be generated through the visitor experiences and the site operations including bookings, purchases, people flows, traffic and energy consumption.
We have established rules to ensure people’s privacy and safety in the use of those data, while promoting data linkage among participants through the data linkage platform deployed as the Expo’s ICT infrastructure, with the aim of providing the better human-centred services to visitors and promoting the advancement of Expo operations.
In this programme, we will present the five principles for data utilisation called "TRUST” that serve as a basis for the data utilisation participants, and the representative measure called VPIA (Value and Privacy Assessment : assessment of the value of services and privacy considerations) , as well as some examples of their use for the Expo operations and the visitor services.
There will also be a panel discussion with experts from the Data Utilisation Expert Committee and members of the VPIA Community who have contributed to the assessment of the data utilisation participants' services, to link the results of this initiative to the future as a legacy of Expo.
