[Seminar] The Power Dynamics of Submarine Cables at a Turning Point
[Speaker]
NTT Docomo Business Inc. Innovation Center
IOWN Promotion Office Evangelist
Visiting Researcher Masayuki Hayashi, GLOCOM, International University
[Key Lecture Content]
Against the backdrop of AI and data center demand, submarine cables, which account for 99% of international communications, are being repositioned as strategic assets for economic security. Japan is taking a lead with multi-core fiber optic technology and IOWN, aiming to expand its global market share through large-scale projects. The government has set a goal to increase the share of Japanese companies to 35% by 2030, projecting an economic ripple effect of 12 to 23 trillion yen. This time, based on these policy movements, we will explain the overall picture of the market, including the competitive structure of submarine cables, supply constraints, and industrial linkages.
