Reports
【Reflection】
Co-hosted by the five Nordic countries and Japan, this two-day event served as a platform for public, private, and academic sectors to exchange concrete case studies and policy visions around key themes: “Medical Data × AI,” “Chronic Disease Management,” “AMR (Antimicrobial Resistance),” “Precision Medicine,” and “Sustainable Healthcare Production.
The opening day featured keynote speeches by Finland’s Minister of Social Affairs and Health, Kaisa Juuso, who introduced the Nordic Vision 2030—aiming to become the most sustainable and integrated region in the world—and Denmark’s Minister for the Interior and Health, Sophie Løhde, who presented a model for locally anchored healthcare reform supported by digital infrastructure.
Panel discussions highlighted Nordic public-private partnership models and Japan’s AI-based medical data analysis, showcasing how the two regions bring complementary strengths to the table.
The second day focused on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), sustainable healthcare manufacturing, and advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Specialized sessions explored topics such as radiological medicine, ethical frameworks for medical data usage, and green investment strategies in healthcare. These discussions emphasized the shared challenges and priorities between Japan and the Nordic region.
Across both days, a common vision emerged: to transform technological innovation into patient-centered value. The event reinforced a collective commitment among governments, industry leaders, academia, and local municipalities to pursue collaborative efforts. It laid a solid foundation for future joint initiatives aimed at sustainable, ethical, and innovative healthcare systems.
【Post EXPO Initiatives】
Japan and the Nordic countries have confirmed their intention to advance joint projects across four key areas: health data utilization, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), precision medicine, and sustainable healthcare production.
To accelerate collaboration, the two sides plan to establish frameworks for information sharing among researchers and companies, with a focus on AI-driven analysis and large-scale medical data validation.
In the field of AMR, discussions are underway to connect the Nordic “One Health” model with Japan’s clinical research capabilities, aiming to develop joint research initiatives.
In oncology, the two regions are exploring clinical trials that combine the Nordic precision medicine platforms with Japan’s strengths in advanced imaging diagnostics. Meanwhile, in the area of green pharmaceutical and medical device production, sustainability investment models presented by Norway and Denmark are being shared with Japanese companies.
The goal is to co-develop indicators and guidelines to promote environmentally responsible healthcare manufacturing.
These proposed collaborations are grounded in the national policies and best practices introduced during the event, and are expected to be further developed through future Joint Nordic events and upcoming bilateral working groups.
