□ Opening remarks: APEV President　Mr. Nobuhiro Tajima

 I would like to extend a heartfelt welcome to all of you gathered here 
today. At the same time, I would like to congratulate all of you who 
made it to the final selection stage. We, the selection committee, look 
forward to reading and listening to all of your wonderful proposals. 
Thank you for your cooperation.
This will be the sixth time we have held this international workshop. 
Until now, the final selection and award ceremony have been held at the 
Tokyo Motor Show, but since the motor show itself has changed to the 
Japan Mobility Show, we would like to hear wonderful presentations from 
all of you here at the University of Tokyo today.
Your predecessors have been doing really great things. We are all very 
happy to see that they are doing great things not only in the automotive 
industry but also in jobs that incorporate the latest technology. We 
hope that they will take this opportunity to be active not only in Japan 
but also globally. The awards are presented by the three most 
representative ministries in Japan: the Ministry of Economy, Trade and 
Industry, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, 
and the Ministry of the Environment. Opportunities to receive such 
awards are rare. We hope that those who receive them will use it as 
encouragement and continue to work even harder.
We look forward to seeing and hearing from you, so please make your 
presentation without feeling nervous.

□Thank you speech: APEV Chairperson　Mr. Masanori Suzuki

Thank you all so much for taking time out of your busy schedules to 
participate in our workshop. Listening to the comments of the award 
winners earlier, it was clear to see how hard you have all worked. I am 
very impressed by all of your efforts. Many teams worked hard over a 
period of four to six months, and we selected you all. We also formed 
the teams with the aim of encouraging you to talk to a variety of people 
beyond your school. Thank you so much for all your efforts. I am 
grateful for your efforts and for today's wonderful presentations. 
Everyone was very good at their presentations, and I felt that they had 
substance.
Congratulations to all the award recipients. I will briefly talk about 
the selection process of the selection committee, which was a very 
heated debate. Each award really reflects the judges' thoughts. The 
Tourism Special Award and the Regional Issues Special Award were 
selected because we wanted to give awards that matched everyone's 
presentations and achievements. Please understand that it was a heated 
debate. Our association would be happy if we could be of some help to 
all of you who participated. We would like to ask you to continue to 
make efforts to be of even greater use to the world in the future. Today 
is the start. We would like to move forward toward 2030, so we 
appreciate your support. Again, thank you very much for your 
participation today.
