Message from the Headpresence, spearheaded and mostly managed internally by ourinnovative staff, made up most of our work.

We started the year 2020 with high expectations fora busy year with promising physical activities topromote investment and technology from Japan todeveloping and emerging nations. Instead we were faced withunknown and stark challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic,
which affected the whole world.
Our first priority was the wellbeing of our staff and counterpartsin Japan and all over the world. We adjusted the way we work in
the office. Teleworking, staggered office schedules and online
meetings and activities became the new “new normal”. Our
next priority was to continue our service to recipient countries
and Japanese companies, especially SMEs, and institutions ina positive way. From June 2020, we started organizing online
activities, including country seminars, delegate programmes,
business matching (B2B and B2G) meetings, and evenexhibitions, based on our mandates of promoting ISID (Inclusive
and Sustainable Industrial Development) along with expectationfrom the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. While wealso had the chance to hold a few physical activities, our online

MissionOur mission is to help developing and emerging countries
in their efforts to achieve inclusive and sustainable industrial
development (ISID) by promoting foreign direct investment(FDI) and technology transfer from Japan through various
activities.
The office was established in March 1981 underan agreement concluded between UNIDO and theGovernment of Japan and is one of nine ITPO offices

At a Glance

In 2020, we also responded to a call by the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of Japan within the framework of Japan’s response to the
COVID-19 pandemic, and engaged in a new project together
with UNIDO Headquarters, based on UNIDO ITPO Tokyo’s
Sustainable Technology Promotion Platform (STePP). The project
aims to demonstrate and transfer Japanese technologies from 13
companies to 12 developing countries, by providing equipment
and solutions to improve health, sanitary and hygiene
environments, and to strengthen capacities and fight against
the crisis caused by COVID-19. This project is expected to becompleted in 2021, and we look forward to reporting its results.
With such activities and projects, we continue to believe thatinvestment and technology promotion are key to achieving theinclusive and sustainable industrial development world-wide
and to fighting against COVID-19. We also remain committed tothe successful achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development, by contributing to regional initiatives such as
the next and 8th Tokyo International Conference on African
Development (TICAD8), which will be held in Tunis in 2022.
We will continue to work in this path in 2021 and beyond, lookforward to your continued cooperation and understanding, andwish all our counterparts health and prosperity going forward.

Response to COVID-19“Switching from offline to online and teleworking arrangements”J

ust as other organizations in the world, COVID-19 obliged
us to switch to innovative yet efficient online working
arrangements, including tele-working, staggered andshorter office hours, activities and internal/external meetings
online.

Using online communication and meeting tools, our staff
started self-training around April-May 2020 in order to
conduct online seminars (so-called webinars) and businessmatching meetings. We quickly managed to master theorganizational skills necessary to make such events successful.
Starting in June 2020, various events were already being held
online. For some events requiring broader tasks and moredetailed preparations, third-party vendors were used.
In this way, we could continue our services to recipient
countries as well as Japanese companies in facilitating
investment and technology transfer. While organizing country
seminars and business matching (B2B and B2C meetings) has
been challenging, the following positive points enabled ourwork to continue online under COVID-19:•

Japanese companies and recipient countries maintained
a strong interest for cooperation.

•

Online seminars allowed higher level speakers to be present.

•More people from all over the world to join the events attheir convenience, so total number of participants were
up to 2-4 times higher than physical events.

•

Q&A sessions attracted more questions as all of themwere received online and in real time.

•

Online B2Bs or B2Gs allowed for fruitful meetings
without the need for travel, resulting in significant costsavings.

Naturally, all physical travels and meetings cannot besustainably replaced by online activities alone, given some
limitations. However, we feel that we have effectively
balanced responding to the COVID-19 threat and ensuringcontinuity in our service provision with reasonable results.
We also embarked together with UNIDO Headquarters on acomplimentary project to promote 13 technologies from 12
Japanese companies registered in our STePP database, as a
response to mitigating responses to COVID-19 challenges inselected developing countries. You can read more about thisproject on pages 14-15.
Even once the COVID-19 situation stabilizes and we are able
to gradually return to our usual physical activities, we plan tokeep online activities as an alternative way of promotion, atleast in the short and medium term.

Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and is jointly
hosted by UNIDO and UN Environment Programme (UNEP).
Furthermore, a separate project was funded in response to
the COVID-19 pandemic, aiming to demonstrate and transfer
Japanese technologies from 13 companies to countries in
Asia and Africa, by providing equipment and solutions toimprove health, sanitary and hygiene environments, and tostrengthen capacities and fight against the crisis caused by
COVID-19. All of this support from Japan to UNIDO comes in
addition to the funding and support to UNIDO ITPO Tokyo.

UNIDO – Japan Decade of Action
In September 2019, the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) Summit launched the Decade of Action, highlightingthat in times of uncertainties, deeper inequalities, andthe climate crisis more effective actions and even closer
partnerships are required to deliver the SDGs.
Against this backdrop, UNIDO stands ready to intensify
the cooperation with Japan and partner countries to

4*As of December 2020

contribute to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda. The solid
partnership between Japan and UNIDO is growing every year.

TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
Japanese technologies to tackle impact of pandemicT

he COVID-19 pandemic has already disrupted the lives of millions of people worldwide, witha disproportionate impact on the poor; thereby jeopardizing the successful achievementof the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Government of Japan's funding forthis project is part of the international community’s solidarity with developing countries that havefragile health systems.

The funding for this new project enables UNIDO to cooperate with Japanese companies todemonstrate and transfer their technologies related to the provision of equipment and solutions
to improve health, sanitation and hygiene. Within the framework of a US$4m initiativeof Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to strengthen the developing countries’ capacity to

mitigate the impacts of infectious diseases through appropriate technology transfer from Japan,
UNIDO ITPO Tokyo is supporting selected Japanese companies that will provide technology andtechnical training.

The companies have been selected from enterprises registeredon our Sustainable Technology Promotion Platform (STePP).

Products and technologies from 13 Japanese companies are being
demonstrated and transferred, and the project is expected to be completed
within 2021.
