Abstract

The concept of Society 5.0 – a superintelligent society of humans, nature and technology in sustainable balance – was launched in Japan in 2016. Danish business academics Prof Christian Nielsen and Prof Jacob Brix propose a systematic, second track, bottom-up ‘society transition model’ to ease the shift towards this next stage of society.
