International Business Linkage Organization Participates in Japan-Taiwan Happy Longevity Forum, Director Naoyuki Ueda Delivers Keynote Speech, Aiming for a "Happy Longevity Society" through Japan-Taiwan Collaboration

The International Business Linkage Organization (IBLO), based in Minato-ku, Tokyo, with Representative Director Keisuke Matsuura, participated in the "Japan-Taiwan Happy Longevity Forum" (organized by Freestyle Partners Inc.) held on March 26, 2026, at Otemachi Sankei Plaza in Tokyo. Naoyuki Ueda, a director of IBLO, delivered a keynote speech.

The forum's theme was "From Asia to the World: Japan and Taiwan Take the First Step Towards the Future." Its objective was to create and disseminate new social value, "happy longevity," by integrating Japanese and Taiwanese expertise to address the rapidly aging societies both countries face.

Forum Content:
Japan and Taiwan, as leading longevity societies, confront the common social challenge of a declining birthrate and aging population. However, each possesses unique strengths and practical knowledge in areas such as regional medicine, preventive medicine, community care, as well as food culture and lifestyle habits.

This forum discussed the ideal form of a sustainable social model from the perspective of improving the "quality of life" beyond just medical care, by integrating the knowledge of both countries.

IBLO participated in this forum from the standpoint of promoting international business and strengthening inter-country cooperation, actively engaging with this theme as part of its efforts to balance social problem-solving and economic activities.

Keynote Speech by Naoyuki Ueda: "Cross-border 'Trust' Creates the Future Society"
Ueda spoke on the theme of "Connecting 'Hearts' and 'Lives' through Trust" in his keynote address. Based on his experience in international business, he proposed essential values for future society.

The speech particularly highlighted the following perspectives:
- The importance of "trust" as an intangible asset that cannot be measured solely by economic growth.
- Sustainable social foundations created by human connections.
- The potential for co-creation partnerships, as seen in the relationship between Japan and Taiwan.

Ueda emphasized that trust relationships transcending national borders and cultural differences are the foundation for realizing a "happy longevity society." He advocated for the necessity of creating new value through the integration of business and social problem-solving.

"Happy Longevity Model" Achievable Only Through Japan-Taiwan Collaboration:
Japan and Taiwan both possess strengths as longevity societies. By integrating their accumulated knowledge in fields such as regional medicine and lifestyle culture, an approach was presented to enhance the overall "quality of life" beyond just medical care.

This occasion re-emphasized the potential for Japan-Taiwan collaboration as a social model that achieves both "happiness" and "sustainability," not merely longevity.

Future Developments:
Accelerating Value Creation through Co-creation from Asia to the World

The International Business Linkage Organization will continue to strengthen cooperation with Japan, Taiwan, and other Asian countries, promoting initiatives that span business, culture, and social problem-solving.

Based on the network and knowledge gained from this forum, IBLO will accelerate the creation of international collaborative projects and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
