The “Fourth Industrial Revolution” is said to occur around 2030 as the utilization of IoT and big data advances and technological innovations such as artificial intelligence progress. What will come after that is Society 5.0, a human-centered society that achieves both economic development and the resolution of social issues through a system that highly integrates "cyberspace" and "physical space." Opportunities to acquire new knowledge and skills while working will become even more important in the future, in order to realize a sense of purpose in life and work while responding to a rapidly changing environment. In addition, in a society where diverse work styles that are not bound by organizations are pervasive, instead of the typical straight career of "education", "work", and "retirement", we will continue to develop individual careers and "recurrent education". What kind of roles are companies and universities expected to play in the future in providing sustainable growth opportunities? After graduating from SFC, members who are active in the front lines of various fields will hold a panel discussion on the role of companies and universities in career formation, human resource development, and recurrent education for the next era.
