Speaking to the reporters after meeting the executives, including those from Intel Corp and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, Kishida said the G7 leaders would discuss stabilising supply chains in their talks in Hiroshima.
Executives from Micron Technology Inc, IBM Corp, Applied Materials and Samsung Electronics, among others, also met Kishida.
Micron said in a statement that it would bring extreme ultraviolet (EUV) technology to Japan to produce advanced memory chips and expects to invest up to 500 billion yen ($3.70 billion) in 1-gamma process technology over the next few years, with close support from the Japanese government.
The company is also poised to get about 200 billion yen in financial incentives from Japan to help it make next-generation memory chips in the country, according to a report from Bloomberg on Wednesday.
Kishida also said the government would work on expanding foreign direct investment in Japan. The G7 summit is from Friday to Sunday.
