Who can apply

Main implementers should be profit-making companies able to carry out the whole path to public implementation; participation of small and medium-sized venture companies is encouraged and universities/research institutions are also expected. Applicants must submit a vision and long-term business strategy at application and management commitment is required. Projects are typically JPY 20 billion or larger, so startups mainly join as consortium members.
