As awareness of the challenges of environmental issues grows at an accelerating pace and the importance of renewable energy increases, the move toward the practical application of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), which are considered to be a game changer in solar cells, is accelerating.

While the government is supporting the project through participation in the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) and the establishment of the Green Innovation Fund, many may feel the challenges of market development. This session will discuss PSCs from the perspective of technology development, product development, and market development from the creator of PSCs.

How should Japan, which once had a bitter experience with photovoltaic power generation, make technology and market development run side by side toward the practical application of PSC? As many companies in Japan and abroad accelerate technological development toward commercialization, how do you see the marketability and future development?
In October 2023, we will launch a technology collaboration consortium to vigorously work toward the realization of 100% domestically produced energy and explore the true value of PSCs and how they can win.

From businesspersons interested in perovskite solar cells to those in the R&D, technology planning, and intellectual property fields working to develop new applications, to those in the corporate planning and business development divisions promoting new businesses and those who lead the creation of businesses utilizing new technologies,
Let’s unravel the global winning strategies from the frontlines of technology collaboration consortiums.

The leading experts in perovskite solar cells will talk about where they are today, and will explain the technical and business perspectives, country-by-country comparisons, technological superiority, material superiority, and other difficult topics. The development process from basic research to industrialization will be a success story in Japan in the future.
We should not think unilaterally that we are losing to China, and we would very much like to make the technology world-beating through all-Japan efforts, but companies need to be prepared based on the risks involved in their investments.
