Japan–India Technology Matchmaking Platform (JITMAP)

About us

JITMAP aims to connect Japanese manufacturers of low carbon technologies (LCTs) and environmental technologies (ETs) with Indian industries that are looking for such technologies, to the benefit of both sides.

Japanese companies are globally renowned for their low carbon technologies (LCTs)—which include energy efficient technologies (EETs), best operating practices (BOP), and renewable energy technologies (RETs)—as well as for environmental technologies (ETs) that help reduce the negative impacts of technology on the environment. India offers a huge potential market for such technologies, with Indian companies striving to find ways to improve their profitability by reducing energy and resource costs. Yet this market remains largely untapped, because the players in both Japan and India often lack the required information, knowledge and expertise to bring the technology transfer process to a satisfactory completion.

Since 2010, IGES and TERI have in partnership successfully promoted LCT transfers from Japan to India, engaging entities in both public and private sectors, and involving intensive studies and activities in both countries. Since 2020, the technology transfers have expanded to include ETs.
