Specified Semiconductor Funding Program

The Action Plan of the Growth Strategy (approved by the Cabinet on June 18, 2021) indicated the need to promote the establishment of domestic production bases for high-performance semiconductors that support the digital society, and to build a reliable supply system. Based on this, and in accordance with the Act on Promotion of Developing/Supplying and Introducing Systems Making Use of Specified Advanced Information Communication Technologies (Act No. 37 of 2020, hereinafter referred to as the “5G Promotion Act”), a certification system for plans to support the development and production of production facilities for specified semiconductors was established.
With this project, performed in close cooperation with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and in accordance with Article 29 of the 5G Promotion Act, NEDO will create a fund and grant subsidies to businesses that have been certified under the Act (hereinafter referred to as “certified enterprises”), and will be engaged in the grant interest subsidies to financial institutions that provide loans to certified enterprises.
