Bringing together stakeholders from government, industry, and academia, the forum highlights how Japan and Norway can advance applied artificial intelligence in sectors such as health, maritime, and public administration. Norway’s investments in applied, industry‑linked AI research centres and Japan’s focus on applied, trustworthy, and physical AI create strong complementarities. The forum aims to demonstrate ongoing and emerging collaborations, identify new partnership opportunities, and accelerate joint initiatives, including B2B cooperation, university MoUs, and collaborative research in trustworthy AI.
