The morning of the second day began with a thorough input. The sponsored Nippon Foundation and five guest companies talked about the need to create seafloor topographic maps, the need for sustainable development of the ocean, and the ocean-related technologies and needs being developed by each company. Then, each applicant gave a presentation on the content of the technological development currently being considered, laying the groundwork for the discussion from the afternoon.
