Digital Platformer Corporation to Speak at “Ethical Summit 2024” Accelerating Rural Ethicalization with IT Technology–Specific Case Studies

2024/11/25 Digital Platformer K.K.

On November 22, 2024, Mr. Matsuda, President of Digital Platformer, Inc. (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Kazutaka Matsuda), spoke at the “Ethical Summit 2024” organized by the Japan Ethical Initiative (JEL). Under the theme of “Accelerating Ethical with IT x Local”, the latest IT case studies were introduced to revitalize local economies and realize ethical standards.

Ethical standards with emphasis on rural areas

The “Ethical Bible” published by JEL (written and edited by the Japan Ethical Promotion Council) clearly states the reasons why rural areas are important in ethical standards. The book clearly states that important supply chain sites are concentrated in rural areas and that the revitalization of local economies is the foundation of an ethical society. Based on this viewpoint, CEO Matsuda emphasized that information technology is an effective tool for realizing ethical standards.

Examples of digital technology contributing to local development

In his presentation, he introduced a case study of our company’s cashless system that utilizes deposit-type stable coins. This technology is expected not only to improve the economic efficiency of the region, but also to be used in times of disaster. During the Noto region disaster that occurred this year, digital money enabled rapid relief efforts and assisted in local reconstruction.

CEO Matsuda also mentioned next-generation initiatives utilizing the “ISHIKAWA ID. By integrating IDs within smartphones, a mechanism is being built that will allow local governments and individuals to work closely together. This mechanism is expected to improve the quality of disaster response and welfare services by streamlining the understanding of the number of people in evacuation centers and the management of residents’ health information.
