Ambassador Yamada highlighted existing and planned collaborations between U.S. national laboratories and Japanese institutions and companies—naming RIKEN, NVIDIA, Fujitsu, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Kyoto Fusioneering—as examples of what the Genesis mission aims to accelerate.

Ambassador Yamada pointed to concrete collaborations that illustrate how the Genesis partnership will function, citing joint work among national labs and Japanese research organizations and companies. “Argonne national laboratories with Japan's RIKEN, NVIDIA, and Fujitsu are working on AI and high performance computing,” he said, and mentioned Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s work with RIKEN on quantum computing and with Kyoto Fusioneering on fusion infrastructure.
