Japan's Keidanren and South Korea's KCCI have pledged to cooperate on AI and semiconductor technology, despite lacking specific commitments. Japan's METI has invested approximately $300 million to develop 1.4nm technology by 2028. Meanwhile, South Korea plans a 26 trillion won support package for semiconductor initiatives. Both countries are eyeing contracts from government-backed projects, with firms like Rapidus targeting 2nm output by 2027. This collaboration may bolster long-term industry growth.
