Representative Greeting
We want to contribute to society with our own technology and with our own hands. However, there are many difficulties in doing so. We ourselves know, use, and care about the technology we have developed better than anyone else. That is why we believe that we can overcome difficulties together with our colleagues, and never give up until the end.
We will implement this unprecedented technology in an unprecedented way and at an unprecedented speed in society, and contribute to the realization of a low-carbon society through power semiconductors.
Toru Ujihara, Representative Director

About the Green Innovation (GI) Fund Project
The Green Innovation (GI) Fund, an unprecedented 2 trillion yen fund, has been established at NEDO by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and related ministries and agencies to realize Japan’s declaration of “carbon neutrality by 2050” by 2020. The GI Fund aims to encourage companies to take on ambitious challenges in order to create a virtuous cycle between the economy and the environment.
The GI Fund project has identified 14 priority fields that are expected to grow in the future, and the consortium including UJ-Crystal Inc. has been selected as one of these fields for “construction of next-generation digital infrastructure/development of wafer technology for next-generation power semiconductors” and is proceeding with research and development with full cooperation from the government. The consortium is now conducting research and development with the full cooperation of the government.
