Concept

What is ZET-summit 2026?

Under the theme of collaboration with startups related to zero-emission technology (ZET) in Japan and overseas, and the introduction of technology to urban development and local industries, industry-academia-government officials will gather together to share case studies and develop new ideas. It will be held as a place where exchange and co-creation are born.

  • This summit is part of the “ZET-valley Concept” *2 promoted by Kyoto Prefecture.
    The ZET-valley concept aims to realize a carbon-neutral society through the creation of new businesses and the promotion of social implementation by introducing decarbonizing technologies to the city.
