Bringing Fresh Momentum to Regions by Creating New Industries
At the New Industry Research Organization (NIRO), our mission is to promote regional industry and revitalize local economies by supporting local SMEs.
Amid major shifts in the industrial structure, we focus on four core sectors with high growth potential and provide strong support to companies that strive to transform themselves in response to societal changes. Those four sectors are:
- DX (AI, ICT, robotics)
- Environment and energy
- Health and medical care
- Aviation, space, eVTOL, and drones
We also offer support in the form of a technical platform designed to enhance value in those sectors, for instance by helping to advance state-of-the-art manufacturing, use of intellectual property, and development distinctive regional industries.
Leveraging Networks for Collaboration
With close ties with universities and cutting-edge research institutions both in Japan and abroad, and the ability to call on the diverse strengths of NIRO supporting members, local businesses, industrial support organizations, financial institutions, and local governments, and highly experienced NIRO coordinators, we are uniquely equipped to work in close quarters with businesses and offer support with a clear start-to-finish view of what’s required.
