Theme Pavilion by CEATEC Organizer

Digital Ocean Society Pavilion

Taking on the challenges facing the ocean — environmental pressures, food self-sufficiency, and security in the waters around Japan — through digital technologies such as AI and IoT, and through the development of the next generation of talent.
By encouraging the marine sector to work with industries beyond its own, the pavilion contributes to a sustainable blue economy and creates a place where marine businesses can move more quickly from concept to real-world use.

About the Digital Ocean Society Pavilion

Advances in digital technology are opening new possibilities for the marine industry. AI, IoT and big data hold promise for problems the ocean faces, from environmental pressures to improving food self-sufficiency, and with them comes a growing need to develop the people who will carry this work forward. Grounded in the principles of Society 5.0, the Digital Ocean Society Pavilion sets out a picture of where advanced technology can take the marine industry. To energize this market, the pavilion works to foster collaboration that reaches beyond the marine sector into IT and electronics.

Featured Program

Blue-Shrimp Summit. — A Summit-Style Competition on the Future of the Ocean

At the Marine Digital Society Pavilion in the X (Transformation) Park, the final presentation of "Blue-Shrimp Summit." — a program that develops next-generation leaders — will be held. Student teams selected from across Japan will present proposals and works exploring the theme of "how to pass on the richness of the ocean to the future." It's an unprecedented summit-style program where the next generation, the ocean, and art intersect.

Developing Future Ocean Talent Through Underwater Robotics: SeaPerch, an International STEM Education Program

The Japan Underwater Drone Association is working with RoboNation, a U.S. nonprofit, to introduce the international STEM education program SeaPerch in Japan. In this hands-on program, students design and build their own underwater robots, then test and improve them as they take part in competitions and presentations. The booth will display an actual robot and explain how it works and what makes it distinctive. With a future SeaPerch Japan Challenge also in view, the association is working to develop the next generation of ocean professionals.

Biological Reasoning AI That Makes Aquaculture in Japan Predictable

Nōka.AI is a deep-tech company that develops “biological reasoning AI,” which combines fish biology and metabolic modeling with AI. By integrating biological data on fish with metabolic models, it analyzes at the cellular and molecular level how fish use nutrients and how this affects their growth and quality. Through scientific optimization of feed design, growth management, quality prediction, and more, the company aims to transform aquaculture from a practice that relies on experience and intuition into a predictable industry.

Making the Ocean Visible as a “Satellite at Zero Altitude”: UMIAILE ASV, a Compact Unmanned Boat

We’re exhibiting the actual unit of our compact unmanned boat, UMIAILE ASV, at the Digital Ocean Society Pavilion. Its proprietary hydrofoil-based attitude control enables stable autonomous navigation. Solar power and GNSS allow multiple boats to operate simultaneously, and swappable sensors support use cases from ocean observation and disaster prevention to defense, surveillance, and environmental assessment. Through the boat itself and posters, we present our “satellite at zero altitude” concept: a boat that watches over the ocean continuously from its surface.
