investigate its innovating capability. While many studies look on internal factors such as company’s capabilities, very few
focus on external factors, such as regulations or industrial environments, as obstacles against innovation. From the latter
perspective, this study explores external obstacles and tries to identify the hurdles against innovation by conducting the fieldstudy of the demonstration test project of fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen stations in Toyota and Kitakyushu cities.
