As the challenges facing society—including the progression of global warming and growing instability in international affairs—become increasingly complex, companies are also under mounting pressure to address social issues through their business activities and to adopt collaborative, co-creative approaches to challenges that cannot be solved by any single company alone. In the future of corporate management and business creation, where both social and economic value must be achieved, increasing attention is being paid to Systemic Design—an approach to innovation that seeks fundamental transformation by focusing on the interrelationships among economic, social, and ecological systems.

The Research and Development to Society 5.0 Bridge Program (BRIDGE) promotes the societal implementation of R&D outcomes in collaboration with the Strategic Innovation Promotion Program (SIP) and various government R&D initiatives.

This project aims to establish a "Financial Inclusion Platform" through collaboration among financial institutions, local governments, welfare organizations, and consumer protection agencies. This platform enables older adults facing cognitive decline to continue economic activities—such as consumption, contracting, and asset management—according to their wishes while receiving community support.

The core philosophy is not merely to detect and report cognitive decline, but to provide integrated support that empowers individuals to manage their finances, maintain their daily lives, protect their rights, and prevent consumer harm.
