[Key Lecture Topics]

With shipbuilding selected as a key national strategic field alongside AI and quantum technology, and amidst rising international tensions such as the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the importance of the maritime industry is once again drawing attention for Japan, which relies on the sea for the supply of essential goods. What is happening on the front lines? What are the challenges? Are there solutions?

As the situation changes daily, it is a complex scenario with no easy answers. This seminar will be an attempt to unravel the past, analyze the present, and consider the future, including organizing my own thoughts.
