Digital Innovation Committee

The Digital Innovation Committee is focusing on moving the Japan-EU Digital Partnership into a practical implementation phase, catalysed by Japan’s accession to the Horizon Europe programme as an Associate Country.

Through continuous dialogue with Japanese and EU authorities, the Committee aims to identify areas of strategic reciprocity, centred on artificial intelligence, data, and cybersecurity, to contribute to the sustainable growth of both regions. In addition, the Committee prioritises the analysis of new digital legislation, including the Tech Sovereignty Package and the Cloud and AI Data Act (CADA), to provide essential insights to Japanese companies and ensure that their perspectives are reflected in an ever-changing regulatory landscape.
