In October 2020, Japanese Prime Minister Suga declared the goal of realizing a carbon-neutral, decarbonized society by 2050. The Japanese government led by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) formulated a “Green Growth Strategy through Achieving Carbon Neutrality” in December 2020.
To promote innovation in carbon neutral related industries in Japan under this new policy, METI and the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) started a new project in April called “J-Bridge Platform Europe”, focusing on carbon neutral sectors. Within this project, JETRO will support business tie-up between innovative European companies (including startups) and Japanese corporates to promote the open innovation activities of these Japanese companies.
Representatives of Japanese industry and leading European companies within the renewable energy sector will exchange their opinions about the perspective of future business opportunities in Japan.
