“Within Reach If You Just Keep Climbing”: Akio’s Message on Woven City
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
On January 6, 2020, just after announcing the #wovencity project at CES in Las Vegas, Akio had the following talk with #toyota Times Editor-in-Chief #teruyukikagawa.
Kagawa
We’ve just heard you make a stunning announcement as the new year begins. This announcement really took me by surprise. Are you serious about this?
Akio
Well, having announced it in front of so many #people, it’d be a bit of a problem if I was just kidding.
Kagawa
That would be a problem, yes.
Akio
Yes, it would. [Laughs]
Kagawa
So you’re serious about this, then?
Akio
I am. And now I have to do it, don’t I?
Kagawa
You do, don’t you?
Akio
I’ve got no choice.
It wasn’t long after this exchange that COVID-19 triggered lockdowns worldwide, putting freedom of mobility on hold for untold numbers of #people. This marked an unexpected start for a project that Akio had reassured Kagawa he was serious about.
Nonetheless, one year later, in February 2021, Akio and his team proved that the dream of #wovencity is coming true.
Message to partners for the future
On February 23, which is “Mt. Fuji Day” in #japan, a groundbreaking ceremony signaled the start of Woven City’s construction.
To commemorate the milestone, a #wovencity video message for partners around the world collaborating for the future has been released.
Toyota Times is happy to share the video and Akio’s message in its entirety.
The video opens with the beauty of Mt. Fuji—an inspirational symbol of #wovencity. Why is #toyota making a city? What are Akio and his team attempting with Woven City? Please watch the video to find out.
Akio video message
A little over a year ago, I was standing on a stage in Las Vegas, at CES, telling the world about a project we call #wovencity.
Our dream was to create a place where #people live, work and play in a real-world living laboratory.
A place where researchers, engineers and scientists, from around the world, could come together to test and develop new technologies, such as autonomy, robotics, AI… and more.
Well today… I’m happy to announce that our dream is well on its way to coming true… because we just broke ground on our #wovencity site at the base of Mt. Fuji.
This groundbreaking ceremony was the result of a year of hard work and effort, made all the more difficult by the pandemic… and I would very much like to thank everyone involved.
It’s still hard to comprehend how much has changed in just the past year… and how many have suffered around the world.
Perhaps like me, it’s caused you to think about what’s most important in life… and how precious it truly is.
In fact, the challenges of this past year have made my determination to build the Woven City… even stronger.
As the CEO of #toyota, and the grandson of its founder, I have faced many challenges during my time here, from recessions, to recalls, to earthquakes and TSUNAMIS.
