<p>In the first two parts of our series, we covered the trips to&nbsp;<a href="https://medium.com/ming-labs/a-smart-city-innovation-tour-in-asia-china-singapore-japan-south-korea-f4bbe0b62442" rel="noopener">Singapore</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://medium.com/ming-labs/inside-china-insights-plans-and-lessons-from-smart-city-47d572c8e8df" rel="noopener">Shanghai</a>&nbsp;and shared our learnings. In this part, the focus will be on the Japan leg of the Smart City tour and some insights gained from that visit. In&nbsp;<strong>Singapore</strong>, we saw how a&nbsp;<strong>small and developed nation was able to transform itself</strong>&nbsp;into a whole Smart Nation. There were strong government support and incentives for related developments. In&nbsp;<strong>China</strong>, we saw that&nbsp;<strong>data was key</strong>&mdash;and not just any kind of data, but data meeting at least minimum quality standards.&nbsp;<strong>Collaboration between startups and large corporations</strong>&nbsp;was important and the citizens had a big role to play to drive Smart City to a higher level.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/ming-labs/inside-japan-visiting-tokyo-as-part-of-the-smart-city-innovation-tour-16b504abb14f"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
