PTC'26 Alaka'i Stage: Japan Reboots for a New Era of Tech Leadership

Japan is entering a new era of global technology leadership. In this PTC'26 session, senior Japanese government officials and industry leaders explore how Japan is “rebooting” its role in digital infrastructure, AI, and international connectivity. The discussion examines why Japan is repositioning AI as core infrastructure, the critical importance of submarine cables, data centers, and resilient networks, and how geopolitical shifts are accelerating foreign investment into the country. Leaders from government and NTT share insights into long-term infrastructure strategy, next-generation networks, energy efficiency, and sovereign AI. The session also highlights Kyushu and Fukuoka as emerging data center hubs, Japan’s approach to digital identity and inclusion, and how demographic change is driving innovation. Together, these perspectives show why Japan is once again becoming a central force in Asia-Pacific and global digital infrastructure.
