Ex-Prime Minister of Japan Yukio Hatoyama inaugurated this event.

On 29 November, we participated in Japan Blockchain Tech Summit that aims to bring next-generation IT business into open contact with investors and participants internationally.

It took place in Akihabara UDX, Tokyo, and most of participants are Chinese and Japanese. So we can hear the speaches through a simultaneous interpretation in Chinese or Japanese.

Kazuyuki Hamada (on the left), a Japanese politician and a member of the House of Councilors who is fluent in Chinese, got involved to this event as a board chairperson.

Takaomi Uematsu, CEO of Laocon, gave a presentation about the detail information about Laocon and also had an exhibition booth to present our service and talk with people who are interested in our service.

There were many kinds of speaches, exhibitions, and stage performance which coverage not only finance but health care, education, game, music and so on. This technology has great potential spreading even in the cultural field.
