Japanese government settled 2025 as “first year of QC industrialization”. Council for Japan's Growth Strategy incorporated Quantum into “17 Strategic Sectors (❶)” and “6 National Strategic Technology Fields (❷)”. In 2026, upon the launch of the second cabinet, an official directive from Prime Minister Takaichi to METI Minister Akazawa explicitly stated that “150+ trillion JPY in GX investments including optical QC over next decade according to GX2024 vision (❸)”. It is expected to accelerate commercialization of QC through expansion of basic research, national quantum research centers and support for startups. ❶ 17 Strategic Sectors ❷ 6 National Strategic Technologies ❸GX related investment sectors Shipbuilding Security Food Energy Disaster prevention Medical IT Material Port logistics Defense AI quantum Semi- conductor Biotech Space Fusion quantum (optical) Semi- conductor (PEC) Contents Marin CEO Takase made a company’s introduction to Prime Minister Takaichi and Minister Kiuchi “Opinion Exchange Meeting with entrepreneurs (2026/5/25)”
