Event

This conference serves as an international platform to realize the founding philosophy of the WNI Weather Culture Creation Center: the development of meteorological infrastructure and the advancement of forecasting technologies across the Asia-Pacific region. At our inaugural conference in December 2025, we shared cutting-edge technologies under the theme, "The New Value AI Brings to the Meteorological Industry." For this second edition, we are broadening the scope of our discussions beyond "Tech" to encompass "Society." Faced with increasingly severe meteorological disasters in Asia driven by climate change, how can we implement AI technologies in the real world to drive concrete disaster mitigation actions? With Early Warning Systems (EWS) at its core, this conference will delve into the "frontlines of implementation," where technology and society intersect. Through collaborative co-creation transcending the boundaries of industry, government, and academia, this conference aims to chart a clear path from forecasting to action, ultimately contributing to enhanced resilience across the entire Asian region.
