About GteX

As countries around the world accelerate their efforts to achieve carbon neutrality, investments related to Green Transformation (GX) are expanding rapidly, and in order to realize GX, it is essential to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, as well as to strengthen industrial competitiveness, economic growth, and development. In order to achieve future greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets and creation of future industries, it is necessary not only to introduce existing technologies but also to create new technologies. In order to continuously create such technologies, support for R&D and human resource development in academia is required in parallel with application and development of technology in industry, and social implementation through genuine collaboration between companies and academia.

The Green Technologies of Excellence (GteX) Program (hereinafter referred to as "the Program") aims to contribute to the realization of GX from the perspective of creating innovative technology seeds and nurturing human resources by supporting R&D and human resource development at universities and national institutes, etc., making the most of the high potential and accumulation of basic research capabilities in academia in Japan. In order to create innovative technologies that will lead to the realization of GX, it is essential not only to conduct basic research on elemental technologies, but also to break the silos in research, and build a system that brings together various laboratories and researchers in fields such as material development, engineering, evaluation and analysis, data management and analysis to conduct integrated R&D as a "team" toward achieving R&D goals.
