Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study empirically explored the innovation process of energy and environmental technologies, in particular investigated the factors that influence commercialization and spillover effects by analyzing data from private R&D projects supported by NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization).
Our findings show that projects of energy and environmental technologies had more additional budget than other projects, that is to be complementarity of R&D investments. On the other hand, such projects are not necessarily associated with success of commercialization.We also found that information exchanges with outside the project had positive effects on both feasibility of commercialization and spillover effects.
