Stronger collaboration between allies starts with bringing together the people, ideas, and technologies that advance our shared priorities. It was a pleasure to welcome Mr. Seiichiro Takahashi, Consul General of Japan in Boston, and members of his staff to MITRE’s Bedford campus to explore opportunities to deepen technology and innovation ties between Japan and the United States. Our discussions and laboratory tours focused on six priority technology areas where MITRE brings deep technical expertise and leadership: artificial intelligence/physical AI, quantum, semiconductors, bio/healthcare, nuclear fusion, and space. During the visit, Consul General Takahashi introduced the Japan-New England Nexus for Innovation (J-NEXUS), an initiative to strengthen Japan-U.S. innovation collaboration by connecting researchers, industry, startups, and institutions across New England and Japan. We look forward to continued partnership and opportunities to advance shared technology, innovation, and national security priorities.
