However, the wheels of industry, academia, and government are not always in sync. While other countries are&nbsp;making concerted efforts in this field, the future of Japan is unpredictable in this situation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">\u3000The Cyber Defence Research Group was therefore formed in 2018 by a group of volunteers to tackle this&nbsp;situation. Since then, we have been gathering experts from inside and outside Japan to deepen discussions and disseminate them widely. Eventually, we would like to establish a cyber defense academy to conduct education and research while cooperating with various countries, and use it as a base to build a cyber innovation hub to nurture people, develop technologies, and create industries. Just as the Black Ships awakened Japan from its slumber in one fell swoop, I hope that by making the Black Ships a permanent fixture, we can rebuild and develop our country and lay the foundation for stability and prosperity in the world.&nbsp;In September 2023, the Cyber Defence Research Group was renamed to the Organization for Cyber Defense Innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">\u3000A challenge is always an opportunity. In the fast-moving cyber realm, it is quite possible for those who are behind to become those who are ahead. Japan&#8217;s past successes have demonstrated the high potential of this country. I hope that the activities of this research group will help to open up a new world together with all of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"is-style-title-type10 wp-block-heading\">Organization for Cyber Defence Innovation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">\u3000The Organization for Cyber Defence Innovation began as a study group after the commencement of CYDEF.
