For sustainable development,
developing countries need to nurture their own industry.
The KeyTechnology & Market Development

NEDO can provide Japan’s advanced technologies• localization of technology
and business model• human resource development• capacity building• feasibility study• demonstration projects

a basis for thecountries to develop asustainable industry

Moreover
NEDO cooperates
w/ WB, ADB, IRENA
andw/UNIDO, we hope to strengthen ouractivities in Africa
