GXI Symposium

The 5th Science Tokyo GXI Public Symposium: "Nuclear Power contributing to Watt-Bit collaboartion" (Event Concluded)

Opening Hours

14:00-17:30

Location

Institute of SCIENCE TOKYO Oookayama Campus West Building 9, 2nd Floor Digital Multipurpose Hall + Zoom

Outline of the Event

Science Tokyo GXI, which aims to accelerate the realization of a carbon-neutral society through industry-government-academia collaboration, will continue its GX research efforts under the new name Science Tokyo GXI following Institute of SCIENCE TOKYO in October 2024. Due to recent advancements in AI driving the growth of data centers and the semiconductor industry, electricity consumption is projected to increase in the future.Therefore, we are hosting this symposium with the theme "Nuclear Power Contributing to the Watt-Bit Synergy," focusing on nuclear power as a carbon-neutral primary energy source to drive GX across industries, including the information industry. Featuring distinguished speakers active min, Lecture will include Lecture a panel discussion. We look forward to welcoming many participants: companies, local governments, the general public, and members of our university community all aiming for GX.
