Exchanging Views on Japan’s Space Industry and Humanity’s Long-Term Civilizational Vision

Kai Sugihara met with Yukio Hatoyama, former Prime Minister of Japan, to exchange views on Japan’s mid-to-long-term space industry strategy and humanity’s long-term civilizational vision.

The discussion covered Japan’s strategic positioning as space becomes a central axis for national competitiveness, industrial structure, and international collaboration—along with the role private-led initiatives must play. They also shared a broader perspective: space should be treated not only as “technology” or “industry,” but as foundational infrastructure for expanding humanity’s living and cultural domain.
