On the occasion of CEATEC Japan 2020, Switzerland puts the spotlight on the exceptional performance of the Swiss innovation ecosystem.

Society 5.0 is Japan’s vision for a super-smart, human-centric society in which social challenges are solved through technologies such as ICT, IoT, robotics, AI, and big data.
