Driving Data Strategy

Last Updated:

In order to solve social issues and maintain and improve Japan's international competitiveness while cooperating with the rest of the world, it is necessary to create an environment in which a sufficient amount of diverse, high-quality data can be easily and safely utilized with trust. To this end, the government as a whole will promote transparent and reliable data utilization.

Overview

Countries around the world are developing the necessary systems and rules, and are vigorously promoting initiatives against the backdrop of the growth of digitalization, the increase in data volume due to the promotion of innovation, and the improvement of AI capabilities. In the digital society, data is considered to be the foundation of national affluence and international competitiveness. Japan has formulated its first "Data Strategy" (the first report of the Data Strategy Task Force in December 2020) and the "Comprehensive Data Strategy" (June 2021), which will serve as the direction for specific initiatives, and has been promoting initiatives to build a digital infrastructure suitable for the digital nation of the 21st century. Based on the progress, the specific implementation of the Data Strategy and the direction of further priority initiatives are published in Priority Plan, which was decided by the Cabinet on June 9, 2023.

In modern society, where digitalization is progressing, data is a source of new value creation, and its effective cooperation and utilization are extremely important factors that determine the sustainability of society and the competitiveness of industry. On the other hand, the importance of data cooperation and utilization is widely recognized, but the creation of specific use cases is only halfway through.

In light of this situation, in May 2025, the Japan Business Federation (KEIDANREN) proposed a basic concept for the realization of a digital ecosystem (the "Second Proposal for the Construction of an Industrial Dataspace"). 2025
