Technology is a key pillar of the Australia-Japan relationship and touches almost all aspects of cooperation: defence science and technology, cyber security, critical minerals and climate change, health and vaccines, and space.
However, cooperation does not happen on its own. It requires dedication and focus from both governments, close ties between our scientists, engineers, and innovators, and regular engagement between the public and private sectors.
