This report intends to provide an overview of current AI, robotics and data related policies in Japan. Its scope covers the government regulations, strategies and actions regarding R&D, as requested by the EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation. Market analysis and business landscape are therefore not covered in this publication.
The objective of this report is to provide a useful source of information on opportunities for European SMEs in AI and related fields against the background of policy landscape. Apart from strategy and regulation’s analysis the report contains also a section with recommendations for European SMEs wishing to collaborate with or conduct business in Japan.
