The EU-Japan Centre co-hosted a hybrid seminar titled Towards a New Dimension of EU-Japan Digital Partnership with Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA). The event took place at the Europa House of the EU Delegation to Japan on 15 October 2025 on the sidelines of CEATEC2025, an exhibition on digital innovation with the theme of realizing “Society 5.0”. The seminar featured notable speakers from the public and private sectors of both sides, focusing on deepening dialogue on the future direction the “Japan-EU Digital Partnership” should pursue toward a prosperous and sustainable future.
Japan and the EU agreed on the “EU-Japan Digital Partnership” at the 2022 Summit and have since been strengthening cooperation to advance the contribution of digital technologies to society and the economy. The significance of the “EU-Japan Digital Partnership” was also explicitly affirmed in the “EU-Japan Competitiveness Partnership” established at the EU-Japan Summit in July 2025.
