Global GX/AI Finance Conference Sapporo 2026

OVERVIEW

Under its GX2040 Vision, the Japanese government is advancing a GX (Green Transformation) strategy that integrates decarbonization, economic growth, and energy security. At the same time, the rapid adoption of generative AI is driving unprecedented investment in data centers, semiconductors, and power infrastructure around the world. As a result, GX and AI have emerged as key drivers of sustainable growth and international competitiveness.

As a designated GX/AI Financial and Asset Management Special Zone, Sapporo is leveraging its abundant renewable energy resources, cool climate, and strong talent base to attract international financial functions, AI and data center investments, and innovative startups. Hokkaido and Sapporo are increasingly gaining attention as a new hub where energy and digital industries converge.

The third edition of this conference will bring together leaders from business, finance, government, and academia to discuss investment and financing for GX, renewable energy, AI, data centers, semiconductors, power infrastructure, talent development, and business attraction. Through these discussions, the conference aims to explore strategies for sustainable growth and enhanced competitiveness while presenting to the world a new Japanese growth model powered by GX and AI.
