Approximately 150 participants are expected to attend the conference, including representatives from central banks, ministries of finance, financial regulators, international financial institutions, securities and payment infrastructure organizations, financial institutions, universities, and research institutions across Asia.
Under the theme, “From Vision to Implementation: Building a Sustainable Innovation Platform in Rusutsu,” the session will present Rusutsu’s long-term vision and the concrete initiatives being undertaken to realize that vision.
The Future Rusutsu Seeks to Create
Rusutsu Resort, operated by Kamori Kanko in partnership with RRT, is advancing initiatives aimed at creating new value and fostering sustainable regional development by leveraging its rich natural environment, decades of resort management expertise, and the application of digital technologies and financial innovation.
Rusutsu possesses a diverse range of real assets, including land, water, snow, tourism infrastructure, local communities, and visitors from around the world. Guided by the philosophy of “For the Good of People, For the Good of the Earth,” we seek to preserve, enhance, and pass these assets on to future generations in a sustainable manner.
As part of this vision, Kamori Kanko and RRT are exploring how finance and technology can serve as foundational tools to support and enhance tangible value within communities, regional economies, and natural capital.
Initiatives to Be Presented
The session will introduce a range of initiatives currently being explored and implemented in Rusutsu, including:
- Development of a digital wallet ecosystem
- Membership and real estate membership programs
- Visualization and value creation of natural capital (water, snow, clean thermal energy)
- Applications of digital technologies and financial infrastructure
- Sustainable regional economic circulation
Beyond concepts and discussions, the session will also share how Rusutsu serves as a real-world testing ground where ideas can be validated, refined, and translated into practical implementation.
Rusutsu aims to become a platform where nature, tourism, community, technology, and finance converge to create new forms of innovation.
We envision Rusutsu not merely as a resort destination, but as a “Living Laboratory” where Real Assets, Sustainable Finance, Digital Technology, and Local Communities come together to generate long-term value.
Looking Ahead
Through this session, we hope to engage leaders from the fields of finance, policy, and industry in discussions on how natural capital, regional assets, finance, and technology can contribute to sustainable development and new forms of value creation.
Rusutsu Resort will continue to serve as a platform for experimentation, collaboration, and innovation, working with diverse partners to build a more sustainable future.
