In establishing the consortium

In the with corona era, quick policy making based on facts and data has become very important. It is a so-called smart city. On the other hand, Shibuya is a city where many people visit and corporate activities are very active, and people flow, economy, and entertainment are intricately intertwined. We expect that the important role of the data consortium is to acquire the wide variety of data generated from it and utilize it for people.
