ARLINGTON, Texas: The U.S.-Japan Council (USJC) will host the 2026 Japan-Texas Economic Summit on May 11–13, 2026, at Live! by Loews in Arlington, Texas, convening approximately 400 senior leaders at a pivotal moment for cross-border investment, AI infrastructure expansion, and energy transition collaboration between Japan and Texas.
This invitation-only, three-day summit will bring together executives, institutional investors, policymakers, and regional leaders to deepen long-term partnerships and investment opportunities as Texas continues to emerge as a hub for energy, advanced manufacturing and global capital deployment.
Programming will focus on major drivers of Japan-Texas engagement, including cross-border capital flows, AI infrastructure and data center expansion, energy security and power generation, and strategic growth sectors such as semiconductors, space, real estate development, food and beverage, sports and entertainment, and workforce development.
Speakers Include:
“We are seeing a meaningful acceleration of cross-border capital formation between Japan and Texas, particularly in energy, advanced manufacturing, and digital infrastructure. At a moment when capital, infrastructure, and innovation are rapidly converging, the Summit will leverage the U.S.-Japan Council's commitment to bringing together the leaders driving this momentum into sustained investment and long-term partnership that strengthens U.S.-Japan relations,” said Audrey Yamamoto, President & CEO of the U.S.-Japan Council.
The 2026 Summit is hosted by USJC in partnership with the City of Arlington and the Arlington Economic Development Corporation as title sponsors, and ABeam Consulting as organizing sponsor.
