Citizens' Meeting "Challenging the Future City Connected by Flying Cars"

KGRI's "2040 Independence and Self-Respect Project" has launched an innovation community beyond the university, the "2040 Community." This fall, this community will hold an event in Yokohama Minato Mirai called "2040 Quest: Challengers for the Future," where everyone can come together to think about innovation in the city of the near future.

For the "2040 Citizens' Meeting--Challenging the Future City Connected by Flying Cars" session, we are recruiting participants from the general public. Experience "flying cars" in VR and discuss the city of the future with developers and other experts!
