Jun 13, 2026 2:43 PM

LONDON, June 13 (Reuters) - Britain and Japan are set to

agree investment and technology partnerships worth more than £18

billion ($24 billion), expected to create tens of thousands of

jobs, as Prime Minister Keir Starmer meets his Japanese

counterpart Sanae Takaichi on Sunday.

Here are some of the details as set out by the British

government:

* The agreements include a Japanese five-year investment

pipeline of more than £9 billion in infrastructure and financial

services, alongside plans to unlock up to £9 billion for UK

offshore wind projects.

* The offshore wind component is expected to support 5.9

gigawatts of capacity across projects in Scotland and the Celtic

Sea.

* The two countries will also launch a new technology

partnership covering areas such as AI, semiconductors and

quantum computing.

* Separately, companies including Hitachi Energy,

Rolls-Royce and Eisai ( ESALF ) are also expected to

announce investments and collaborations spanning power grid

expansion, nuclear technology and life sciences.

* Other business and government agreements are expected to

be signed during Takaichi's visit, which comes ahead of the June

15-17 G7 summit in France.
