Under Japan’s new prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, the list of economic growth priorities includes a focus on food tech and synthetic biology.

After decades of growth driven by the private sector, Japan’s government is taking charge of its economic future.

This month, the administration held the first meeting of the Japan Growth Strategy Headquarters, setting out measures to strengthen the country’s economic supply chain and mobilise investment through public-private partnerships.

Part of the effort is the creation of the Japan Growth Strategy Council, which aims to create increased income and consumer confidence through supportive and targeted policies.

“This cabinet will create a strong economy in order to turn concerns about current livelihoods and the future into hope. We will strategically deploy fiscal resources based on the concept of responsible and proactive fiscal policy,” said Sanae Takaichi, Japan’s new prime minister.

The plan has identified 17 priority areas, including AI, synbio and food tech – the latter will be led by the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries – with the government hoping to publish a growth strategy by June 2026.
