1  INTRODUCCIÓN  
1.  El Gobierno del Japón ha llevado a cabo actividades de cooperación para el desarrollo en muchas 
esferas . Uno de los objetivos más importantes de e sas actividades es fomentar y propiciar la 
transferencia de tecnología.  En opinión del Japón, debería interpretarse que los incentivos a la 
transferencia de tecnología incluyen diversas medidas, como el apoyo financiero y el apoyo al 
entorno empresarial, y  que el apoyo al entorno empresarial mediante el fortalecimiento de la 
protección de la propiedad intelectual es una de las distintas medidas eficaces para fomentar la 
transferencia de tecnología por el sector privado . Con arreglo a esta interpretación, el  Japón ha 
adoptado numerosas medidas de  incentivación.  
2.  Con respecto a los incentivos que su país ofrece a las empresas e instituciones de su territorio, 
el Gobierno del Japón suministra en la presente nota información sobre las actividades que se 
describen  más abajo . El Gobierno del Japón considera que estas actividades contribuyen a mejorar 
la infraestructura tecnológica en los países menos adelantados (PMA), lo cual generará una mayor 
transferencia de tecnología.  
2  ACTIVIDADES EMPRENDIDAS POR ORGANIZACIONES  DE COOPERACIÓN TÉCNICA  
2.1  JICA  
3.  La Agencia de Cooperación Internacional del Japón (JICA) presta cooperación técnica en el marco 
de la asistencia oficial para el desarrollo (AOD) mediante la transferencia de conocimientos y 
tecnología . En el ejercicio económico de 2020, el valor de las operaciones de cooperación técnica de 
la JICA ascendió a cerca de JPY 131000 millones . En el anexo se enumeran algunos ejemplos de las 
actividades de cooperación técnica realizadas con los PMA Miembros.  
4.  En el marco del programa de la Asociación de Investigación de Ciencia y Tecnología para el 
Desarrollo Sostenible (SATREPS), la JICA coopera con la Agencia Japonesa de Ciencia y Tecnología 
(JST) y el Organismo de Investigación y Desarrollo Médicos  del Japón (AMED), que se encargan de 
la financiación en ese ámbito, para promover proyectos de investigación internacional conjunta con 
países en desarrollo, a fin de resolver cuestiones de interés internacional . La JST y el AMED brindan 
apoyo a instituci ones de investigación e investigadores japoneses para la realización de actividades 
en el marco de proyectos en el Japón . La JICA respalda la ejecución de proyectos en los países en 
desarrollo, por ejemplo mediante el envío de expertos (investigadores) jap oneses, el suministro de 
equipo s y la capacitación de personal, y a través de otros tipos de asistencia relacionada con los 
proyectos en países en desarrollo, en  el marco de la cooperación técnica de la AOD . En el cuadro 2 
del anexo figuran los proyectos d e la SATREPS que han beneficiado a PMA Miembros.  IP/C/R/TTI/JPN/2

  5.  En 2013 la JICA puso en marcha un nuevo programa de asociación entre el sector público y el 
sector privado, denominado Programa de Colaboración con el Sector Privado para la Difusión de la 
Tecnología Japones a, cuya finalidad es fomentar la comprensión de la tecnología, los conocimientos 
y el sistema de funcionamiento  de las empresas japonesas y considerar la posibilidad de ponerlas al 
servicio del desarrollo en los países en desarrollo . En el anexo se enumera n algunos ejemplos de 
proyectos ejecutados en el marco de este Programa . Se ha modificado el título del Programa, que 
ahora se denomina "Encuesta del sector privado sobre la verificación de la actividad empresarial en 
relación con los ODS".  
2.2  AOTS  
6.  La Asociac ión de Cooperación Técnica y Asociaciones Sostenibles en el Exterior (AOTS ) es una 
organización dedicada a potenciar los recursos humanos en países en desarrollo , que promueve la  
cooperación técnica a través de la formación, el envío de expertos y otros pr ogramas . 
2.2.1   Formación técnica  
7.  Se trata de actividades de formación para ingenieros y ejecutivos de países en desarrollo 
invitados al Japón en calidad de pasantes . Los programas incluyen formación técnica impartida por 
empresas  del sector privado, lo que permi te que los pasantes adquieran conocimientos o aprendan 
técnicas en esferas específicas . En 2020 la AOTS organizó cursos de formación técnica para 
ingenieros y ejecutivos de Bangladesh, Camboya, Myanmar, Nepal y la República Democrática 
Popular Lao . 
2.2.2   Formación en gestión  
8.  Se trata de  programas de formación en el Japón o de seminarios en línea celebrados por  
teleconferencia con el Japón dirigidos a ingenieros y ejecutivos de rango alto e intermedio de países 
en desarrollo con el objetivo de  mejorar sus  competencias y técnicas relacionadas con la gestión de 
empresas o de fábricas mediante la adquisición de conceptos de gestión y la observación de su 
aplicación práctica . En 2020 la AOTS organizó cursos de formación en gestión para ingenieros y 
ejecutivos de  Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, el Sudán  y Tanzanía . 
2.2.3   Programa de envío de expertos  
9.  Los expertos de la AOTS prestan orientación y asesoramiento técnicos a las empresas locales y 
contribuyen a introducir mejoras en esferas como las tecnologías de fabricación y las capacidades 
de gestión empresarial . En 2020 se ofreció orientación técnica sobre diversas cuestiones a Camboya.  
2.3  JETRO  
2.3.1   Envío de expertos para mejora r el entorno empresarial de los países en desarrollo 
con miras a promover el comercio y las inversiones  
10.  La Organización de Comercio Exterior del Japón (JETRO) destaca expertos que ayudan a los 
países en desarrollo a establecer las normas e instituciones necesarias para crear un entorno 
empresarial propicio para el comercio y las inversiones . Más concretamente, en respuesta a las 
peticiones de organismos del sector privado y de otras entidades de países en desarrollo, envió a 
expertos en los correspondientes sectores industriales, como las partes de automóviles y los moldes 
y las matrices.  
2.3.2   Asistenc ia a los países en desarrollo para la ampliación de sus industrias de 
exportación ("Una aldea, un producto")  
11.  La JETRO ayuda a los países en desarrollo a aumentar sus exportaciones al Japón y alcanzar un 
crecimiento económico autosostenible mediante la prom oción de productos procedentes de países 
emergentes . Algunos de los proyectos comprendidos en este programa se llevan a cabo en el marco 
de la campaña "Una aldea, un producto", una iniciativa destinada a apoyar y promocionar las 
economías locales de los pa íses en desarrollo, en la que se realizan principalmente actividades de 
exposición y venta de artesanía, accesorios, alimentos elaborados y otros productos similares en el 
mercado "Una aldea, un producto" . Los productos proceden de países en desarrollo de Asia, África, IP/C/R/TTI/JPN/2  
- 3 - 
  América Central y el Pacífico y se venden en los aeropuertos internacionales de Narita y Kansai . El 
objetivo de la promoción es presentar las cualidades de esos productos a los clientes japoneses y 
aumentar sus ventas en el mercado japonés.  
3  ACTIVIDADES EN LA ESFERA DEL CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO  
3.1  Financiación para el clima  
12.  En 2015, el Japón anunció la estrategia "Medidas para enfriar el planeta 2.0" ("ACE : Actions for 
Cool Earth 2.0"), que tiene por objeto fomentar la participación de los países en desar rollo en el 
Acuerdo  de París y contribuir a una reducción significativa de los gases de efecto invernadero  
liderando a nivel mundial el impulso al desarrollo de tecnologías innovadoras . Esta estrategia se 
basa en dos pilares : el suministro de asistencia re lacionada con el clima en los países en desarrollo, 
financiada con fondos públicos y privados que se prevé que asciendan aproximadamente a 
JPY 1,3 billones en 2020 ; y el impulso a la innovación, un factor clave para adoptar medidas contra 
el cambio climáti co manteniendo al mismo tiempo el crecimiento económico . Asimismo,  en junio 
de 2021, con ocasión de  la Cumbre del G -7 celebrada en Cornualles, Suga Yoshihide, Primer Ministro 
del Japón, anunció que el país proporcionará financiación , tanto pública como privada, para hacer 
frente al cambio climático , la cual  se elevará a JPY 6,5 billones durante los próximos cinco años 
(2021  a 2025) , y seguirá aumentando su ayuda para  contribuir a  esa adaptación. El nivel de  
compromiso es igual de elevado que el de su  compromiso anterior  hasta  2020, que ascendía a 
JPY 1,3 billones (equivalentes a unos USD 11.800 millones) al año. Este compromiso destaca entre 
otros países desarrollados  por su considerable cuantía . Con él, el Japón seguirá  liderando  los 
esfuerzos mundiales  para hacer frente al cambio climático.  
3.2  JCM 
13.  El Japón ha establecido y viene aplicando el Mecanismo conjunto de créditos (JCM) tanto para 
hacer una evaluación cuantitativa  de la contribución del país a la reducción o la eliminación de las 
emisiones  de gases de efecto invernadero  -que se logran mediante la difusión de infraestructuras, 
servicios, sistemas, productos y tecnologías de descarbonización  avanzados, entre otros,  y la 
aplicación de medidas de mitigación , sobre todo  en países en desarrollo -, como para, de esa manera, 
luchar por cumplir con  la contribución determinada a nivel nacional  del Japón y  otros propósitos . Al 
mes de agosto de 2021 , el Japón había concertado asociaciones con 17 países . El Japón promueve 
la formulación de proyectos del JCM mediante diversos sistemas de apoyo y está tratando de agilizar 
la transferencia de tecnologías de descarbonización  avanzadas . 
3.3  Otras iniciativas relat ivas al cambio climático  
14.  Además de a través del mencionado Mecanismo, el Japón fomenta la transferencia de tecnología 
relacionada con el cambio climático mediante su participación activa en iniciativas multilaterales en 
el contexto de la Convención Marco d e las Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático (CMNUCC), 
como el Comité Ejecutivo de Tecnología y el Centro y Red de Tecnología del Clima , a las que el Japón 
contribuyó con una aportación de  USD 12 millones en el ejercicio económico de  2020. En junio 
de 2019, el Japón adoptó la "Estrategia a largo plazo en el marco del Acuerdo de París", que proclama 
una "sociedad descarbonizada" como meta última y aspira ambiciosamente a lograrla lo antes 
posible en la segunda  mitad del presente siglo . La estrategia inclu ye como uno de sus pilares "la 
promoción de la aplicación internacional liderada por las empresas, y la cooperación internacional" . 
En el marco de ese pilar, el Japón lleva a cabo,  entre otras, las siguientes actividades:  
a. promueve la aplicación internac ional de tecnologías de descarbonización junto con el 
apoyo en materia de políticas y el apoyo institucional y la elaboración de normas 
internacionales ; 
b. fortalece el desarrollo de infraestructuras que contribuyan a la reducción de las 
emisiones de CO 2 y fomenta la inversión en dichas infraestructuras ; 
c. sienta  las bases para una sociedad descarbonizada a escala mundial .  
15.  En el marco de la aplicación de la estrategia , en una Reunión de Ministros de Energía de la 
ASEAN+3 celebrada en septiembre de 2019, el Japón propuso  la puesta en marcha de la iniciativa 
"Un futuro con energía más limpia para la ASEAN " (CEFIA), en el marco de la ASEAN+3 .La iniciativa IP/C/R/TTI/JPN/2  
- 4 - 
  tiene por objeto  promove r un entorno en el que las empresas puedan  dar muestras  de su  liderazgo 
en la difusión de tecnologías  de descarbonización  dentro de los países de la ASEAN y entre ellos . Se 
espera  que la CEFIA  contribuya al AP AEC (Plan de Acción de Cooperación Energética d e la ASEAN ), 
ponga en práctica  su hoja de ruta para facilitar la  colaboración y aceler e la financiación , 
principalmente mediante la ejecución de sus proyectos emblemáticos . 
16.  El Primer Ministro  Sr. Suga anunció que el Japón se proponía reducir a cero las emisiones netas 
de gases de efecto invernadero antes de  2050 y lograr una sociedad descarbonizada. En diciembre 
de 2020, el país elaboró la "Estrategia de Crecimiento Verde para Alcanzar la Neutrali dad en 
Emisiones de Carbono en 2050 " y creó un fondo dotado con J PY 2 billones con el fin de prestar  
asistencia continua a las empresas que asumiesen el reto de  emprender innovaciones ambiciosas 
durante el siguiente decenio , así como  de estable cer una polí tica para la utilización  del sistema fiscal . 
Además, el P rimer Ministro  Sr. Suga anunció que , para el ejercicio económico de 2030,  el Japón se 
propon ía reducir sus emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero  en un 46% con respecto a los niveles 
del ejercicio económico de  2013, fijando a tal fin  un objetivo ambicioso en consonancia con  el 
objetivo a largo plazo de reducir a cero las emisiones netas antes de 2050. Asimismo , el Japón 
proseguirá sus arduos esfuerzos por  alcanzar el digno  objetivo de reducir sus emisiones en un 50% 
(anunciado en la 45ª  reunión de la Oficina Central  de Prevención del Calentamiento Global y  en la 
Cumbre de Líderes sobre el Clima el 22 de abril de 2021).  
4  ACTIVIDADES EN EL SECTOR FARMACÉUTICO  
17.  Dado que la oferta  de medicamentos de buena calidad es uno de los componentes 
fundamentales de la atención sanitaria, es importante establecer en los países en desarrollo un 
sistema que garantice la disponibilidad permanente de medicamentos eficaces, seguros y de 
calidad.  Además, la proliferación de productos médicos de calidad subestándar y falsificados es un 
gran problema de salud pública, pues no solo constituye una amenaza para la salud de los usuarios, 
sino que también da lugar a que se malgasten los recursos públicos y  entraña el riesgo de que 
aparezcan cepas de bacterias farmacorresistentes . Por lo tanto, el fortalecimiento de las medidas de 
lucha contra la distribución de ese tipo de productos médicos reviste también suma importancia.  
18.  Habida cuenta de ello, el Gobiern o del Japón, a través de la JICA y la Corporación Internacional 
de Servicios Sociales del Japón (JICWELS), lleva a cabo programas de formación destinados a 
desarrollar y reforzar las competencias del personal especializado que se ocupa de los servicios de 
reglamentación en el sector farmacéutico.  Además, el Gobierno del Japón, en colaboración con la 
Asociación de Fabricantes de Productos Farmacéuticos del Japón (JPMA), contribuye a la mejora de 
la reglamentación farmacéutica mediante la participación  en con ferencias internacionales y se 
esfuerza por divulgar los resultados de estas en los países en desarrollo de la región de Asia.  
5  ACTIVIDADES EN LA ESFERA DE LOS DERECHOS DE PROPIEDAD INTELECTUAL  
19.  En el ejercicio económico de 2020, la Oficina de Patentes del J apón (OPJ) organizó, en 
colaboración con el Centro de Propiedad Industrial para Asia y el Pacífico (APIC) del Instituto de 
Promoción de las Invenciones y las Innovaciones del Japón (JIPII), 11 cursos de formación colectiva 
para funcionarios públicos , y 47  participantes procedentes de PMA  completaron la formación . En el 
ejercicio económico de 2020, la OPJ organizó asimismo cuatro  cursos de formación colectiva para el 
sector privado, y 13 participantes de PMA completaron la formación . 
20.  Además , el Gobierno del Japón  ha venido realiza ndo contribuciones voluntarias a la OMPI, que 
es un organismo de las Naciones Unidas encargado  de proteger los derechos de propiedad intelectual 
en todo el mundo y de  administrar diversos tratados multilaterales , con m iras a  la creación de 
normas relativas a los derechos de propiedad intelectua l, entre otras cosas . Los fondos fiduciarios 
del Japón en la OMPI  se establecieron gracias a esas contribuciones voluntarias  y se utiliza n para 
prestar asistencia  a los miembros de la OMPI en la Comisión Económica y Social para Asia y el 
Pacífico (CESPAP) . Asimismo , en el ejercicio económico de 2008 se establecieron los  fondos 
fiduciarios del Japón en la OMPI  para África y los PMA con el fin de promover un  desarrol lo económico 
autososteni ble mediante  la utilización de la propiedad intelectual en la región . Además , desde abril 
de 2019, el Japón ha renovado sus fondos fiduciarios  en la  OMPI como fondos mundiales , que se 
utilizan sin limi tar las zonas a las que se presta  asistencia . Gracias a estas contribuciones voluntarias , 
todos los años se ejecutan diversos proyectos, como la aceptación de  pasantes e investigadores en 
materia de derechos de propiedad intelectual , la celebración de  simposi os, el envío de funcionarios 
de la OPJ  y la prestación de  asistencia para la automatización y la modernización de las oficinas de IP/C/R/TTI/JPN/2  
- 5 - 
  propiedad intelectual . En el ejercicio económico de 2020 se organizaron con cargo al Fondo Fiduciario 
del Japón para la Propiedad Industrial Global cinco programas que atrajeron a más de 197 
participantes, incluidos los procedentes de PMA.  
21.  Asimismo, la JICA ofrece varios programas de formación sobre propiedad intelectual, en los que 
invita  al Japón a funcionarios públicos de diversos países . El objetivo de esos programas es que los 
participantes adquieran conocimientos generales y básicos a través de conferencias, debates, 
observación directa, etc., y compartan también sus conocimientos con  los participantes de los 
distintos países . Desde 2000 se organizan cursos sobre los derechos de propiedad intelectual, a los 
que han asistido muchos participantes de PMA, como Myanmar, Camboya, Gambia, Uganda 
y Tanzanía.
