What next?

Continue and extend our beneficial joint activity!
Benefit for Germany and Japan

Benefit for other countries• Gain useful lessons from eachother that enable andaccelerate the energy
transitions in both ourcountries.

• Establish GJETC as aninternational role model forbilateral cooperation.
