NEDO Strategic Innovation Program (SIP) Phase 3
Supports NEDO Strategic Innovation Program Phase 3 across prioritized themes in energy, infrastructure, and advanced industrial innovation.
NEDO Strategic Innovation Program (SIP) Phase 3 is the NEDO page for Japan’s cross-ministerial SIP Phase 3 portfolio. It sits under the Cabinet Office science and technology system and funds nationally defined themes rather than open-ended proposals. The program covers FY2023 to FY2027 and is organized around a set of mission themes that include smart energy and digital infrastructure. The scheme uses grant funding from 3.35 million to 67 million, runs on an annual cycle, limits participation to Japan-registered and Japan-operating organisations, and requires consortia. It is a grant route for organisations rather than individuals, and the structure points to collaborative public R&D rather than a single-lab award. The strongest fit is a team that can work inside a government-led systems program and contribute to one of the named missions with industry and research partners. NEDO’s role is to manage the implementation and progress of the work, so success depends on programme discipline as much as technical merit. Applicants that can align with the mission architecture and deliver across institutions are better positioned than those looking for a conventional open call.
