Launch of Wat-Bit Public-Private Dialogue

The Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications have established the Wat-Bit Public-Private Dialogue to promote effective collaboration between power and communication infrastructure. This initiative is essential due to the rapid expansion in demand for data centers driven by AI advances and increased communication traffic. The first meeting is scheduled for March 21, 2025, to discuss the efficient development of infrastructure as stipulated in the revision of GX2040 Vision for a Decarbonized Growth Economy.
