Japan's government is launching an investment strategy to enhance its economic growth by focusing on 17 strategic sectors, including AI, quantum computing, and drones. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi emphasized the need for increased long-term investment, despite recent strong capital spending figures.

Following a landslide election victory, Takaichi plans a comprehensive package to incentivize corporate spending and support overseas expansion. A growth strategy panel identified 61 priority products and technologies for investment support, including 27 under early-stage review, such as physical AI systems and regenerative medicine.
