ASPI Webinar: Cybersecurity, critical technologies & energy: Japan and its role in the Indo-Pacific

In this webinar, Fergus Hanson, Director of the International Cyber Policy Centre, was joined by Dr. Yuko Harayama (RIKEN), Ms. Mihoko Matsubara (NTT Corporation) and Dr. Tomohiko Taniguchi (Keio University Graduate School) for a discussion on Japan's approach to cyber issues, technology, digital innovation and energy transition. Tokyo is becoming more vocal in calling out cyber risks and threat actors. Just this year, Japan called out the Chinese Communist Party for malicious cyber attacks, the only country in Asia to do so. At the same time, Japan is pursuing ‘Society 5.0’, the country's national vision for a digital nation, which seeks to harness technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, internet of things, synthetic biology, quantum to tackle social issues including the country’s ageing population, pollution, productivity and sustainable energy. The panellists discussed some of the opportunities for Japan and Australia to collaborate more closely across these policy areas, and whether that would require both countries to take a greater leadership role in the Indo-Pacific, through mechanisms such as the Quad.
