India Liaison Officer
India Liaison Office
Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST)
Thank you for visiting the website of the JST India Liaison Office. I am Yukio Kemmochi, India Liaison Officer since April 1, 2023.
JST plays a central role in Japan's Science and Technology Basic Plan. Based on science and technology targets issued by the government we fund basic research, commercialization of new technologies, distribution of science and technology information, and in recent years promote international joint research and the fostering of next generation human resources.
Our comprehensive contribution stimulates real progress in science and technology and helps tackle a variety of social issues.
We continue to strengthen our close relationships with universities, research institutes and industry inside and outside Japan, create collaborative science and technology innovation and ensure the sustainable development of our society.

With its population of 1.3 billion and huge pool of science and mathematics talent, India's potential is immeasurable. Japan recognizes India as a valuable partner sharing democratic values and a desire to promote global well-being through science and technology. We believe research cooperation - especially in ICT - is fundamental to achieving our shared goals.
The JST India Liaison Office therefore strives to deepen science and technology cooperation between Japan and India through a wide variety of activities, including the establishment of joint ICT research hubs and other joint research projects.
The India Liaison Office works as a gateway connecting India and South Asia to Japan's universities, research institutes and companies, and vice versa.
The following are descriptions of activities conducted with India and South Asian countries.
