The Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, visited Japan as part of a study tour aimed at understanding how the country applies research and technological innovation as practical solutions to problems.
One of the highlights of the visit was his engagement with the Matsuo-Iwasawa Laboratory at the University of Tokyo, which specialises in deep learning and Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI). The laboratory explores the application of AI in critical sectors such as healthcare, education, manufacturing and agriculture.
The delegation also engaged with leading Japanese space technology institutions and firms, including Axelspace, Hanibashi and Cross U. Discussions centred on the application of satellite technology and data to address challenges such as flooding, deforestation, drought stress and crop monitoring.
