NEDO International Joint R&D
Funds Japanese and international partner research collaborations to create scalable joint innovation outcomes.
NEDO International Joint R&D sits under NEDO's international activities and backs Japanese and overseas partners working together on clean energy and energy-environment technology. The program has a project period from FY2020 to FY2025 and a FY2025 budget of ¥1,074 million. It is a grant route for Japanese research institutes and universities conducting joint projects with institutions in G20 and other countries. The themes in the record cover smart communities, biomass, green mobility, hydrogen, energy storage, materials, devices, and reliability work; awards in the data run from ¥200,000 to ¥650,000, with a median around ¥400,000, and the match requirement is 33%. The program is built for international collaboration rather than domestic-only research. This is a collaboration program, not a large commercialization fund. Applicants fit best when the research question is clearly shared across borders, the foreign partner is named, and the work can be tied to a single technical theme with a practical path to publication, validation, or downstream development. The most persuasive proposals will look like real joint research, not a loose networking arrangement.
