多くの日本企業やベンチャーキャピタルが、多くのスタートアップに積極的な協業や投資を

行っています。その中でも最近注目されているのは、「モビリティ」分野です。

モビリティは、自動運転技術、EV、ドローン、空飛ぶ車、シェアリングサービス、MaaS

(Mobility as a Service)等、多岐にわたる技術が必要とされます。

また、カルフォルニア州では、2035年にはガソリン車の新車販売を禁止するなどの規制が

かかり、今後も日本企業は、カーボンニュートラルへ積極的に取り組んでいく

必要があります。本イベントでは、カリフォルニア州政府がモビリティ業界の変革に関して

講演を行うほか、ソニー・ホンダ・モビリティなどスタートアップとの協業に積極的な

日本を代表するモビリティ企業が登壇し、大手企業の協業事例・道のり、成果、苦労話、

注力領域を大公開するスタートアップにむけてのピッチセッションを目指すとともに、

日本企業とタッグを組むベイエリアのスタートアップも登壇予定です。
