According to the “Nihon Keizai Shimbun” report on August 14, the Takaichi Sanae government positioned the semiconductor industry as a pillar industry in its 17 strategic fields. According to the public-private sector cooperative investment roadmap, the cumulative investment amount before FY2040 will reach 68 trillion yen, accounting for one-sixth of the total investment in all fields. We aim to revive the Japanese semiconductor industry by focusing on cutting-edge fields such as generative artificial intelligence. A typical example is Rapidus, which has a manufacturing plant in Chitose, Hokkaido. Taishiro Yamagiwa, chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party Semiconductor Strategy Promotion Parliamentarians' Union, emphasized, “Mass production starting next year must not fail. The government needs to be prepared to ensure that the necessary funding is provided.”
