Reason for Selection:
This project makes it possible to improve the quality of meals through IoT by recognizing a user's eating habits in real-time and expressing their quality through color changes.
To make the picture on the canvas vibrant, one must eat a balanced meal at an appropriate pace, which naturally leads to a healthier diet. We selected this project for its ability to encourage a higher quality of life through the slow enjoyment of colorful, well-balanced meals.

Reason for Selection:
This is a unique and cutting-edge technology that truly embodies the spirit of the Generation Award.
We selected this project for its use of drones to construct structures strong enough to support a person.

Reason for Selection:
A new theory was constructed that links optimal detection with optimal control, exploring how well biological odor detection systems work.
By elucidating the mechanism for optimal scent detection in the presence of noise, this research is expected to have future applications in search robots, which is why it was selected.

Reason for Selection:
Under our mission to "make business trips smarter," we operate a platform business to solve challenges related to business travel, providing convenience, peace of mind, and safety to all travelers.
This idea simultaneously addresses challenges faced by agricultural workers and children's cafeterias. We selected it not only because we see the potential of the platform business model, but also in the hope that it could become a key measure supporting the foundations of our country in areas such as agriculture, food, and children.

Reason for Selection:
We believe that the recent depletion of marine resources and the problem of marine pollution are not unrelated. Considering the potential for tsunami damage in the event of a disaster, preventing marine pollution is a critical issue for our future.
Furthermore, we felt that the problem of waste has the potential to extend beyond the sea to mountains and cities.

Reason for Selection:
Our company is an insurance agency.
Some of our clients are suffering greatly from lymphedema.
We have come to realize how truly difficult post-operative and post-discharge care can be.
We hope this "Lymphedema Revolution" spreads widely and saves as many patients in need as possible.
We also believe it will be a great help to medical professionals.

Reason for Selection:
We were fascinated by the idea of utilizing digital and IoT technologies while incorporating traditional techniques into the design, using existing gold luster paint without compromising the appearance or durability of the porcelain.
The ability to handle various patterns suggests it could bridge the digital field and ceramic arts. We selected this project with the expectation that it could lead to new ways of enjoying food.

Reason for Selection:
This technology is a system that can be utilized not only by YouTubers but also in various settings such as Zoom meetings and online seminars. We anticipate that this service will be useful to many people and will expand into new developments in the future.

Reason for Selection:
This project aims to contribute to food self-sufficiency and regional revitalization by merging agriculture and entertainment. It presents a social vision that enhances enjoyment and motivation by competing on harvest amounts and sales, and seems enjoyable for participants of all ages.

Reason for Selection:
The preservation and transmission of historical structures and traditional culture have become a social issue due to the aging of technicians and a lack of successors, driven by a declining birthrate and aging population.
This proposal achieves the preservation and transmission of Japanese traditional culture by utilizing the latest digital technologies such as robot arms and 3D printers. We were impressed by the excellence of this initiative and have high expectations for it.

Reason for Selection:
As of 2024, the annual loss in Japan due to traffic congestion is said to be approximately 10 trillion yen.
This project can predict when and where traffic jams will occur, and has reportedly achieved high-precision predictions in an experiment to forecast congestion one hour ahead.
We selected this project because we feel it has the potential to advance future logistics and morning/evening commutes.

Reason for Selection:
This project not only visualizes changes in brainwaves to make them recognizable but also successfully incorporates them as a component of communication. It is a stimulating idea that approaches human perception from both physiological responses and communication, packaging it all as entertainment. It made us acutely aware that there is still untapped information all around us.

Reason for Selection:
At Sosu Co., Ltd., we develop fun and novel products.
We were attracted by the convenience of this product; as a 5cm diameter stick, it can be carried around easily without worrying about where to put it. While there are many cases of using fragrance for regional revitalization, we selected this for a corporate award in anticipation of its potential to allow anyone to easily contribute to promoting the appeal of their region.

Reason for Selection:
This project can provide users with a new experience and, at the same time, brings to mind various potential applications.
We selected this project because we anticipate a high affinity with our facility, "The Lab.: Everyone's Research Institute," and expect collaboration with participating companies, universities, and research institutions in its future development.

Reason for Selection:
This time, we selected this project not only from the perspective of "INNO-vation" but also for its affinity with our business, "LunaLuna."
"LunaLuna" is provided as a Femtech service that solves female health issues with technology.

Reason for Selection:
We hear that the supply of guide dogs is insufficient.
In addition to being a dog lover myself, my experience supervising pet-friendly housing in Tokyo and advising pet-friendly hotels has given me many opportunities to speak with pet owners, including visually impaired individuals with guide dogs.
The situation is not simply solved by increasing the number of trained dogs. It is necessary to think from a different perspective, and we believe this proposal could be a part of the solution.

Reason for Selection:
As a platform for "surviving the 100-year life," we aim to create an environment where professional talent can work vibrantly by freely choosing diverse work styles, workplaces, and fulfilling "lifework" that suits their life stage, regardless of employment status or location. With the "Life Video Recorder's" innovative feature of "using AI to judge what is in the image and prioritizing information deemed necessary for the user," if memories of one's "lifework" could be preferentially recorded, we feel that more people would be able to work with vitality, making Japan a more energetic country.
