Where Czech deep-tech meets Japan's push for supply chain resilience in semiconductors, photonics, and critical technologies.
This Expert Working Group brings together Czech and Japanese leaders in advanced technology — from laser and photonics pioneers to nanotech innovators, cybersecurity specialists, and analytical instrument makers. In a world reshaping around supply chain resilience and critical technology partnerships, this Group turns the EU-Japan strategic framework into concrete Czech-Japan opportunities.
Ultra-intense laser systems, optical components, and photonics solutions for industrial, medical, and research applications.
Electrospun nanofiber technologies for filtration, medical devices, and energy storage — a Czech global leadership position.
Enterprise security solutions, identity management, and secure communication systems for critical infrastructure.
Electron microscopy, spectroscopy, and precision optics — fields where Czech companies lead globally.
Inaugural meeting with Czech deep-tech leaders and Japanese corporate R&D partners. Chair elected; 12-month priorities set.
Sector-focused session on Japan's semiconductor revival, rare earth and materials security, and photonics supply chain opportunities.
Review of partnerships initiated, delegation outcomes, and policy engagements. Planning for 2027 trade missions and research programmes.
Dates and agenda are indicative and may evolve based on member input.
Laser, photonics, nanotech, and analytical instrument companies with existing or target-market presence in Japan.
Czech cybersecurity firms, semiconductor ecosystem players, and deep-tech scale-ups. Japanese corporates seeking European innovation partners.
Czech research institutes (e.g. ELI Beamlines, CEITEC) and Japanese counterparts (RIKEN, AIST, leading university labs).
Technology ministries, innovation agencies, and embassy science & technology attachés.
Group Chair will be elected at the kick-off event in Q2 2026 from among the founding members.
