Shift from analog to digital systems

"Analog regulations" are old regulations established by laws, ordinances, and other social systems and rules on the premise that they must be verified by human eyes and presented in writing. Analog regulations are one of the factors that hinder the "digitalization" and "rationalization" of society as a whole.
From this perspective, since the establishment of the "Provisional Digital Administration Investigation Committee" in 2021, under the leadership of Digital Agency, all government ministries and agencies have been strongly promoting inspections and reviews of analog regulations in approximately 40000 laws and regulations and other areas. As a result, as of February 2026, about 98% of the required reviews had been completed, enabling the new use of digital technology in various fields. Furthermore, in order to prevent new analog regulations from being created in the future, Digital Agency is conducting a "digital legal review" of the bills submitted by each government ministry and agency to the National Assembly.

There are also many analog regulations in ordinance and other areas under the jurisdiction of local governments, and it is not enough for the national government's efforts alone to truly promote digitalization in society. Digital Agency has provided various support for local governments that are promoting the remaining review of analog regulations in ordinance and other areas, including the development of tools and research on the use of generative AI. An increasing number of local governments are reviewing their regulations. Through these efforts, we are promoting regional revitalization from the perspective of digital regulatory reform.

"semi-public sector" digitalization Supports People's Lives

Disaster prevention, health, medical care, nursing care, educations, and mobility are fields that are deeply related to the lives of the people. These fields are supported jointly by the public and private sectors and have been designated as "Priority Plan" in the government's "semi-public sector for the Realization of a Digital Society."
Digital Agency is promoting digitalization in the semi-public sector in cooperation with various government offices, local governments, and private companies.

From Individual and Independent Administrative Systems to Common and Joint Systems

In order to quickly provide and improve highly convenient services, Digital Agency is working on the unification and standardization of core business systems for local governments. In addition, we are building a mechanism to operate the information systems used by the national and local governments in a unified cloud environment.
