Society 5.0 institute

Society 5.0 Institute is a social enterprise committed to fostering social innovations serving SDGs through mission-oriented use of technology.

With a group of professionals specialised in digital transformation, futurism, the philosophy of science, and emerging technologies, Society 5.0 Institute analyses the best practices from all over the world and produce policy recommendations. It aims to ensure that technology is not something happens to us, but it is something we use to serve our needs and wants. Society 5.0 Institute claims that the new technological shifts necessitate a new social contract to cope with emerging societal challenges and engage the foremost political, business, and other thought leaders of society to shape their agendas.

“Society 5.0. will follow the hunting, agricultural, industrial, and information societies. It achieves a high degree of convergence between virtual and physical space. Society 5.0. Institute is committed to improving our understanding about the new phase. We engage the foremost political, business and other thought leaders of society to shape their agendas.” – Y. Tugba Kurtulus Kara, PhD, President of Society 5.0. Institute
