Abstract :
The Japan´s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (hereafter, METI) has formulated and revised the Strategic Technology Roadmap (hereafter, the STR) to provide the up-to-date national infrastructure for strategic R&D management. Both the STR and the METI´s technology roadmapping effectiveness have been widely valued in R&D society. In addition, Japan could be a world leading country on eco-innovation, because of its historical experience on environment and energy-saving. METI developed a new area of sustainable manufacturing technology in the STR and will present it to the global basis.
