Support Center for Advanced Telecommunications Technology Research, General Incorporated Foundation

Message from Chairman

Support Center for Advanced Telecommunications Technology Research (SCAT), established in 1988, has kept contributing to the development of information and communications technology (ICT) through activities such as study and support for emerging technologies, funding for Research & Development(R&D), dissemination of information and knowledge on forefront ICT technologies and award program. Recently, the environments surrounding Japan have, however, drastically changed. To realize a sustainable and comfortable society, we must resolve various social issues such as further strengthening international collaboration/competitiveness, global environment conservation, coping with aging society, and guaranteeing national safety and security. Advanced ICT is expected to play a vital role in resolving the above issues and transforming the socio-economic system. It is, therefore, essential to further promote R&D in the field of ICT, while paying attention to collaboration/fusion with vertical industries and creation of new business models.
Approved by the Prime Minister, SCAT changed to a general incorporated foundation in 2012. We celebrated our 30th anniversary in 2018. We will continue to provide wide-ranging support for R&D and contribute to further development of ICT. Your understanding and encouragement are highly appreciated.
