Description

<p>SBIR system in Japan has achieved certain results such as totally subsidizing 14 trillion yen for 94,000 SMEs since the system was founded in 1999. On the other hand, Various institutional issues have become apparent, such as the portfolio issue that the subsidies of some ministries account for a large proportion, and the issue that uniform rules for grants is not maintained. In addition, in recent years, due to the diversification of needs for solving social issues and the fragmentation and complexity of science and technology, the importance of creating innovation through support to SMEs, mainly startup companies, has been increasing.</p><p>With all these matters in mind, at the 201st ordinary session of the Diet, The Act Partially Amending Basic Act on Science and Technology and Related Acts was enacted, and SBIR system in Japan was reviewed to contribute to the promotion of innovation by startup companies and SMEs. In particular, the position of the system as an innovation policy was clarified, and some subsidies will be operated by each ministry under the uniform rules such as setting issues based on policy challenges and needs of public procurement by each ministry and adopting a gated process with 3 phases.</p><p>In the future, we hope that new SBIR system in Japan will contribute to innovation in Japan by being steadily operated and making continuous improvements.</p>
