At the fourth meeting of the EU‑Japan Digital Partnership Council in Brussels, the European Union and Japan agreed to deepen cooperation on data, AI, quantum technology, semiconductors, digital infrastructure and online platforms. They created a Data Strategy Working Group to improve interoperability of data policy frameworks and expanded the EU adequacy decision for Japan to include academia and research. A pilot on interoperable digital identities showed technical feasibility across different systems. The partners also agreed to a Cooperation Arrangement on AI research, safety, and to associate Japan with Horizon Europe. In quantum, the joint Q‑Neko project will explore hybrid computing and quantum‑enabled solutions. Joint research on 6G and standardisation links were welcomed, and cooperation on semiconductor supply chains was outlined. Future work will include video‑game and audiovisual collaboration, with the next council meeting scheduled for Tokyo in 2027.
