About this site
What this site does
It collects the releases, events and publications put out by Japanese industry associations across 17 strategic investment fields, organises them by field, and links to each association’s official page. It covers 91 Japanese associations, plus 28 leading associations outside Japan in a separate section for comparison.
This material sits scattered across each association’s own website, and there is no single place to learn which associations exist in which field. This site exists only to provide that entry point.
What is and is not published here
Each association entry carries the publication date, title, association, field and a link to the official page. No full text is reproduced — to read anything, you go to the association’s own page.
Field pages also carry a short digest of each product and technology named in Japan’s Growth Strategy. These digests are this site’s own condensation of published government material, an entry point to the originals. The figures are the government’s projections, not this site’s estimates.
The fields and segments are this site’s own arrangement, made to help you find things. They are not classifications made by the associations themselves.
The Publications page gathers what associations already publish openly. Member-only and paid material requires an agreement with each association and none is listed at this point; nothing is listed without permission.
Past entries
Entries are kept and not deleted. Associations sometimes move or remove pages, so links may break over time. Please tell us if you find one.
Updates
Association pages are checked automatically three times a day and new items are added. The date of the last check is shown on each association’s page. Where a page cannot be read automatically, the association is marked as not re-checked and still shows what was collected on 13 August 2026. This is left visible rather than hidden.
Who runs this

This is a personal project run as a hobby. It is not affiliated with any of the listed associations, nor with the operator’s employer or any other organization. Please do not contact the associations about anything on this site.
Corrections and removal requests

Analytics
To understand which fields and associations are being read, this site uses GoatCounter. It sets no cookies and stores nothing that identifies a visitor. IP addresses are hashed on the server immediately, using a salt that rotates every eight hours, and cannot be reversed.
What is recorded: pages viewed, which outbound links were opened, on-site search terms, and referrers. Outbound link data exists to show which associations’ information is actually being read.
