Amid intensifying development competition in each country over next-generation communication standards such as 6G and Beyond 5G, a new organization created by Japanese industry, academia and government was established, and we confirmed the policy of strengthening cooperation in business development.
The general meeting for the establishment of the new organization "Beyond 5G Promotion Consortium" was held in Tokyo on the 18th, and was attended by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, major telecommunications companies, and industry-academia-government officials such as universities.
In this, Minister for Internal Affairs and Communications Takeda said, "We will start research and development to realize Beyond 5G at an early stage, aiming to invest 100 billion yen in the next five years of intensive efforts, and strengthen our international competitiveness." I greeted you.
The next generation of 5G communication standards will be put into practical use around 2030, and development competition in each country will intensify, and the government will allocate 30 billion yen as a fund for research and development in the third supplementary budget for this year. I am.
The new organization will grasp the trends of each country regarding next-generation communication standards, disseminate the results of Japanese research and development to the world, aim for international standardization of Japanese technology, and comprehensive strategies for business development. I'm going to put together.
Japan aims to take the initiative in the business of next-generation standards by sharing information between industry, academia and government, and confirmed the strengthening of industry-academia-government collaboration at the general meeting on the 18th.
