Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is set to nearly quadruple its budget for supporting cutting-edge semiconductors and AI development to about ¥1.23 trillion for the fiscal year starting in April. The overall budget rose by 50% to ¥3.07 trillion. The ministry plans to secure most of the additional funding in regular budgets, providing more stable funding. ¥150 billion is earmarked for Rapidus Corp, ¥387.3 billion for AI development, ¥5 billion for key minerals, and ¥122 billion for decarbonization.
