Energy is the foundation of global stability, economic growth, and technological advancement. As nations seek to meet rising demand while fulfilling climate objectives, energy security and decarbonisation must be addressed as parallel priorities. The path forward is not defined by compromise, but by balance, strategic investment, and innovation.

Japan, as one of the world’s most advanced economies and largest energy importers, is taking a leadership role in redefining this path. With the release of the Seventh Strategic Energy Plan, Japan is pursuing a pragmatic strategy that supports the dual imperatives of energy resilience and emissions reduction. Its approach reinforces the importance of clean fuels, diversified supply chains, and advanced technologies in securing a sustainable future.

Japan Energy Summit & Exhibition, taking place from 18–20 June in Tokyo, provides a vital international platform for aligning policy and industry. Co-hosted by Tokyo Gas and JERA, the event brings together senior government officials, energy executives, investors, and technology leaders from across the global value chain.
