English Program
The 3rd US-Japan Dual-Use Tech Collaboration Seminar brings key stakeholders from the United States and Japan together to explore opportunities for deeper collaboration in dual-use technologies.

This year’s program will feature senior Japanese government officials, including a Director General from Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who will discuss Japan’s defense policies. The seminar will also bring together leading U.S. stakeholders, including DIU, IQT, and SRI, as well as executives from major Japanese defense companies for a panel discussion on the evolving US-Japan dual-use technology ecosystem.

This is a valuable opportunity to gain insights into defense policies in both countries, emerging technologies, and opportunities for US-Japan collaboration.
