🎓 30% Rise in Lifelong Learning Centers in Japan

The number of lifelong learning centers in Japan grew by nearly 30%, from 384 in 2008 to 496 in 2021, reflecting the government's commitment to education and skills development for an aging population and evolving workforce needs. This growth aligns with initiatives like the Lifelong Learning Promotion Law and the Basic Act on Education, which emphasize continuous learning and community engagement, ensuring accessible educational opportunities for all citizens throughout their lives.

🍃 >20% of Turkey’s Energy Supply From Natural Gas

Between 2018 and 2022, Turkey's renewable energy sources, including wind and solar, surged by 42%, from 505 PJ to 742 PJ. This growth aligns with Turkey's National Energy Plan, targeting a 65% share of renewables in installed capacity by 2035 and net-zero emissions by 2053. The government is investing $20B in energy efficiency projects by 2030, aiming to reduce carbon emissions and enhance energy security while diversifying its energy mix.

💻 25% Rise in Global Silicon Wafer Shipments

Global silicon wafer shipments surged by nearly 60% from 9.37B square inches in 2010 to 14B in 2022, driven by demand in electronics, 5G, and automotive technologies. Governments worldwide are responding with initiatives like the US CHIPS and Science Act, South Korea's K-Chips Act, and the UK's National Semiconductor Strategy, all aimed at boosting domestic semiconductor production and securing competitive advantages in this critical industry for future technological advancements.
