Moving beyond policy dialogue, the event highlighted the urgent need for concrete implementation across key areas such as interoperability, semiconductors, AI, and digital governance.\u00a0Organised\u00a0by the INPACE\u00a0initiative and the EU delegation in Japan, the week-long event under offered dedicated sessions to discuss groundbreaking\u00a0technologies and their applications:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/inpacehub.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/DSC00018-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inpacehub.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/DSC00018-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/inpacehub.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/DSC00018-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inpacehub.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/DSC00018-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inpacehub.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/DSC00018-1536x1027.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/inpacehub.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/DSC00018-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/inpacehub.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/DSC00018.jpg 1616w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u30c7\u30b8\u30bf\u30eb\u516c\u5171\u30a4\u30f3\u30d5\u30e9\u306e\u76f8\u4e92\u904b\u7528\u6027\u306b\u95a2\u3059\u308b\u30cf\u30c3\u30ab\u30bd\u30f3<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A key takeaway is that interoperability between EU and Indo-Pacific digital infrastructures is no longer a research question. It is an implementation and governance challenge. The primary barriers now lie not in technical feasibility but in the absence of shared certification frameworks, harmonised trust registries, and sustained multi-stakeholder coordination mechanisms spanning both regions. Addressing these gaps requires moving from event-driven collaboration to a permanent, institutionally anchored cooperation structure. For the EU-Japan Digital Partnership and the broader Indo-Pacific digital agenda, the recommended next steps are to create dedicated pathways for winning prototypes to enter public procurement and standards development processes, and to systematically involve ETSI, IPA Japan, and other standards bodies &#8211; as represented in the final jury \u2013 in translating prototype learnings into normative outputs. The winning team presenting at the INPACE final event in Brussels in 2027\u00a0represents\u00a0a concrete first step in that direction.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Semiconductor Workshop: \u201cJapan-EU Cooperation on Advanced Computing,<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Advanced Functionalities and Semiconductor Value Chain\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A number of&nbsp;interesting thematic overlaps and areas of complementarity have been&nbsp;identified, both in terms of the strengths of the semiconductor value chain and in terms of technology. For example, Japan\u2019s strengths in the fields of memory, materials, back-end&nbsp;equipment&nbsp;and integration are of great interest to the EU. INPACE partners will continue to strengthen cooperation between the EU and Japan at upcoming events&nbsp;organised&nbsp;by&nbsp;the&nbsp;INPACE and JASMINE&nbsp;initatives. It would also be possible to propose joint projects under Horizon Europe and the Chips Joint Undertaking. The United States and China aim to cover the entire semiconductor value chain in the future, with around 400 billion in investment in each country. However, this is not&nbsp;feasible&nbsp;for Europe and Japan, and this bilateral collaboration would help overcome the many challenges associated with future electronic systems, a century after the invention of the transistor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Policy Workshop: \u201cSecuring the Digital Horizon: EU-Japan Cooperation on<\/strong>\u00a0&#8220;<strong>Emerging Disruptive Technologies and Critical Infrastructure\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the first session, \u201cFrom Innovation to Deterrence: Dual-Use Technologies,&nbsp;Defence, and Economic Security,\u201d participants noted that the primary challenge is not innovation itself, but absorption. Namely, how effectively public institutions, procurement bodies, and&nbsp;defence&nbsp;organisations&nbsp;integrate dual-use technologies into operational use. Institutional inertia&nbsp;remains&nbsp;a significant obstacle. In Japan\u2019s&nbsp;defence&nbsp;R&amp;D landscape, a cultural inclination toward incremental progress and risk aversion constrains the development of truly disruptive solutions. Scalability\u2014especially in domains such as drones and autonomous systems\u2014was identified as a persistent weakness, compounded by the absence of an ambitious requirements-setting process, for example.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the second session, \u201cSecuring the High Ground: Space and Critical Infrastructure for&nbsp;Defence&nbsp;and Trusted Connectivity,\u201d recommendations focused on deepening EU\u2013Japan cooperation. In space situational and domain awareness (SSA\/SDA), participants&nbsp;emphasised&nbsp;the need to move beyond basic information sharing toward integrated data fusion,&nbsp;timely&nbsp;attribution mechanisms, and joint operational picture capabilities. In cybersecurity and resilience for space assets and operations, building on models such as ETSI and 3GPP was seen as key to ensuring interoperability between European and Japanese systems. Japan\u2019s potential participation in NATO High Visibility Projects\u2014such as APS (Alliance Persistent Surveillance,\u2026)&nbsp;was highlighted as a practical pathway into multilateral space security frameworks. Additional proposals included establishing a dedicated EU\u2013Japan Space Security Forum to address grey-zone legal issues, norms of responsible&nbsp;behaviour, and crisis communication protocols for orbital incidents, as well as expanding industrial co-development through JAXA\u2019s Co-funded Business Promotion Framework and aligning initiatives like IRIS with Japan\u2019s LEO communication constellation&nbsp;programme.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Event: \u201cHow European and Japanese SDOs can support the EU-Japan Digital<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Partnership\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, stronger EU\u2013Japan collaboration through ETSI and TTC is seen as key to delivering secure, interoperable, and globally scalable digital solutions across all these domains.\u00a0<strong>In 6G and wireless communications,<\/strong>\u00a0trusted and interoperable frameworks are essential, with closer alignment between\u00a0standardisation\u00a0bodies, open-source communities, and regulators, supported by initiatives like 6G-Mirai, helping to accelerate innovation and deployment.\u00a0<strong>In quantum technologies<\/strong>, standards need to be interoperable by design, testable, and certification-ready to enable scaling, especially as PQC and QKD approach deployment, creating opportunities for hybrid approaches and shared quantum-safe security profiles, while\u00a0maintaining\u00a0crypto-agility for long-term resilience.\u00a0<strong>In AI<\/strong>, Japan\u2019s goal of becoming the world\u2019s most AI-friendly country aligns with EU priorities on trustworthy AI, with lifecycle-based standards such as EN 304 223 providing a practical foundation for secure-by-design and transparent systems. In\u00a0<strong>data governance<\/strong>, trusted data flows are critical for AI-driven transformation, requiring standards that balance\u00a0rigour\u00a0and flexibility, with EN 304 199 and EN 303 760 underpinning interoperability and governance across data spaces.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/inpacehub.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Group-picture-at-Policy-Workshop-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inpacehub.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Group-picture-at-Policy-Workshop-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/inpacehub.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Group-picture-at-Policy-Workshop-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inpacehub.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Group-picture-at-Policy-Workshop-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inpacehub.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Group-picture-at-Policy-Workshop-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/inpacehub.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Group-picture-at-Policy-Workshop-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/inpacehub.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Group-picture-at-Policy-Workshop-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>EU and Japan partnering up: Exploring complementarities of tech business<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Offers<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants noted that some European companies are already working with Japanese partners in Southeast Asia to develop alternatives to offerings from so-called high-risk vendors, with one immediate idea being to jointly target African markets through smart agriculture solutions. A key insight was the value of combining both horizontal and vertical approaches, while emphasizing the&nbsp;critical role of standards\u2014particularly in enabling joint EU\u2013Japan technology offerings. It was widely acknowledged that Europe and Japan are mutually dependent in completing supply chains and assembling competitive technology solutions for third markets, making close collaboration essential. Funding mechanisms, such as the Japan ICT Fund, were identified as important enablers for implementation, alongside strong dialogue between industry and the public sector. Private sector commitment, in particular, was&nbsp;seen as decisive in advancing joint initiatives, while there also appears to be scope for coordinated public-side programming. An open question&nbsp;remains&nbsp;regarding&nbsp;how proactive the private sector should be in shaping these efforts. As a practical next step, it was suggested that the European side articulate a clear strategic focus on Africa as a priority region and then&nbsp;identify&nbsp;viable&nbsp;joint technology offerings to pursue collaboratively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>EU-Japan AI4Good\u306e\u5354\u529b\uff1a \u300c\u6c17\u5019\u3068\u5065\u5eb7\u306e\u305f\u3081\u306eHPC\u79d1\u5b66\u4ea4\u6d41\u300d<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The session highlighted the strong complementarity between Europe and Japan in&nbsp;High&nbsp;Performance&nbsp;Computing&nbsp;anchored in flagship systems such as&nbsp;Fugaku&nbsp;(RIKEN), JUPITER (J\u00fclich), and the NAISS Nordic infrastructure, and stressed that sustained cooperation between these ecosystems is both&nbsp;timely&nbsp;and strategically important. These HPC platforms are already enabling AI-driven advances in climate, health, and urban sustainability, with clear potential to scale into joint AI4Good initiatives aligned with key UN SDGs, particularly climate action, health, and sustainable cities. Participants underscored opportunities in AI4Climate and AI4Health, where combined computing power, shared datasets, and interoperable frameworks could significantly enhance policy-relevant climate modelling and accelerate biomedical research. A key outcome was the shared need for an operational EU\u2013Japan framework for&nbsp;Fugaku\u2013JUPITER cooperation, with NAISS acting as a bridge, supported by joint calls, coordinated&nbsp;programmes, and shared access mechanisms. The main recommendation is to&nbsp;formalise&nbsp;a structured, well-resourced HPC cooperation mechanism under AI4Good, with simplified collaboration procedures, stronger researcher mobility, and pilot projects as an immediate first step.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Japan\u2019s Association to Horizon Europe: New Opportunities to Enhance<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Japan\u2019s association marks a structural upgrade in EU\u2013Japan R&amp;I relations, shifting from project-based cooperation to a more integrated partnership where Japanese entities can also lead projects, supporting more balanced collaboration. EU and Japanese research priorities are strongly aligned, especially on climate change, digital transformation, and economic resilience, making Horizon Europe\u2019s mission-driven approach a good fit. However, increasing awareness and capacity-building around Horizon Europe rules and application processes in Japan&nbsp;remains&nbsp;essential, with National Contact Points and outreach playing a key role. Stakeholders also stressed the need to&nbsp;build on&nbsp;past EU framework&nbsp;programme&nbsp;collaborations to scale future joint projects, along with practical success factors that support effective participation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>ICT \u30b9\u30c6\u30fc\u30af\u30db\u30eb\u30c0\u30fc \u30e9\u30a6\u30f3\u30c9\u30c6\u30fc\u30d6\u30eb<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The round table covered a wide range of topics,&nbsp;showcasing&nbsp;rich innovation and research from both sides. Discussions highlighted strong synergies and complementarities with clear potential for further collaboration, particularly in the context of Japan\u2019s association to Horizon Europe. AI and optical technologies stood out as key areas where Europe and Japan have strong, complementary&nbsp;expertise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EU-Japan ICT Stakeholder Roundtable also stressed the strategic value of trusted cooperation on next-generation connectivity, focusing on 5G\/6G, AI, quantum technologies, and non-terrestrial&nbsp;networks. Participants highlighted a shift toward AI-native,&nbsp;decentralised, and sustainable network architectures as key priorities for joint R&amp;D and&nbsp;standardisation. Three main pillars for cooperation were&nbsp;identified: research collaboration,&nbsp;standardisation, and joint demonstrations including digital twin initiatives. The event reinforced a shared ambition for long-term EU-Japan cooperation in advancing emerging technologies over the next decade.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Panel: \u201cLeveraging Digital and Tech Diplomacy:\u00a0Opportunities for a new<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>partnership between Europe and the Indo-Pacific?\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The session highlighted several policy-relevant insights for strengthening EU\u2013Japan cooperation in the Indo-Pacific, notably the growing importance of tech diplomacy as a core foreign policy tool to shape global digital rules and standards, and the need to close the gap between rapid innovation and slower regulatory processes through more anticipatory, forward-looking governance. It stressed the value of \u201cmanaged interdependence\u201d built on resilient and trusted supply chains, alongside stronger EU\u2013Japan coordination in international standard-setting to promote interoperable and values-based frameworks. The partnership should also expand its global role by offering transparent technological alternatives to third countries, deepen joint research and innovation in areas like AI, semiconductors,&nbsp;quantum&nbsp;and green technologies, and adopt more inclusive, multi-stakeholder governance involving industry, academia, and civil society. Finally, extending cooperation networks across the Indo-Pacific was identified as key to amplifying impact and strengthening regional digital resilience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Advancing EU-Japan Digital Cooperation: Next Steps<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A central lesson from the&nbsp;2nd EU-Japan digital week&nbsp;is the need to&nbsp;prioritise&nbsp;pilot projects and practical use cases over abstract discussions. The EU-Japan Hackathon clearly&nbsp;demonstrated&nbsp;this shift, proving that interoperability between European and Indo-Pacific digital public infrastructures is no longer just a research question, but a practical governance challenge. Teams successfully integrated production-grade components across&nbsp;jurisdictions, underscoring that shared certification frameworks,&nbsp;harmonised&nbsp;trust registries, and sustained multi-stakeholder coordination are critical next steps to scale these innovations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, significant structural hurdles\u00a0remain. Regulatory fragmentation, complex governance, and limited access to data and research resources were consistently identified as primary bottlenecks slowing down joint initiatives. To overcome these barriers, experts recommend lightening cooperation mechanisms to reduce bureaucratic friction and actively\u00a0expanding\u00a0industry participation. While academic ties between the regions are robust, engaging the private sector\u2014especially SMEs\u2014as &#8220;co-architects&#8221; of governance frameworks is essential for sustainable progress.\u00a0The current geopolitical landscape also demands a strategy of &#8220;managed interdependence&#8221;.\u00a0Rather than pursuing full technological independence, Europe and Japan are encouraged to build resilient, reciprocal partnerships that reduce high-risk supply chain dependencies. This includes collaborating on international standard-setting for critical dual-use technologies like AI, 6G, semiconductors, and quantum computing to ensure open, interoperable, and values-based global frameworks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, the partnership aims to expand its global footprint by combining European and Japanese technological strengths to address third markets.
