The Japanese government will earmark 50 billion yen ($482 million) with the aim of promoting research and development on 6G advanced wireless communications services, Japanese news agency Jiji Press reported.
The Japanese government expects to boost public-private cooperation in 6G research and development to secure a leading position over other countries in the field of telecommunications, according to the report.
Japan plans to establish a 30-billion yen fund to be used over the coming years for supporting research and development in the 6G field. The government expects to commission such work to private companies and universities through the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, which has ties with the country’s communications ministry.
