The Japanese government has been developing a “New International Standards Strategy” for the strategic use of international standards for the first time since 2006. This presentation will explain the key points of this strategy from my perspective as a member of the International Standards Strategy Subcommittee of the Cabinet Office, which was involved in the policy making. In particular, I will address the selection of important and strategic areas for international standardization, the expansion of the command post function in the government, and measures to discontinuously strengthen the ecosystem for international standardization. The role of academia in Japan's international standardization will also be discussed, taking into account the international standardization strategies of major countries such as the U.S., the EU, and China. At the same time, the concept of a “ruleforming market creation strategy” that can be implemented by the private sector will be explained.
