In April, Japan’s B5G Consortium and Finland’s 6G Flagship, which
represent each country’s 6G research, signed a MOU at the Global Digital Summit
2021. This is part of the partnership announced during US-Japan summit talks.
Based on the partnership, the two parties will closely work together in quickly
introducing 6G, talent exchanges and joint 6G technology development, thereby
commercialize 6G in 2030.
Japan launched ‘6G Research Society’ last year led
by Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and later established key
execution strategies for ‘Beyond 5G’. Japan’s major communication service
providers like NTT Dokomo, KDDI, Softbank and Tokyo University will join the
related consortium with the goal to commercialize 6G technology in 2030. Japan
also set the vision to occupy 10% in global 6G patent market share and 30% in
global equipment and software market share.
