Abstract :
On May 14, 2010, we established an energy harvesting consortium in Japan with 12 member companies. As of March 2011, the number of members increased to 32, and we are continuously receiving inquiries from interested companies and organizations throughout Japan as well as overseas. In an effort to boost Japan´s international competitiveness in the field of energy harvesting, we founded a consortium whose goal is to function as a collaborating platform for Japanese companies. We aim to incubate and accelerate new ventures embarked upon by our members as well as stimulate the relevant markets in collaboration with the government of Japan.
