Sustainable Technology Promotion Platform (STePP)
UNIDO ITPO Tokyo’s Sustainable Technology Promotion Platform (STePP) is designed to share information on Japanese technologies that contribute to sustainable industrialization, in order to promote the transfer of such technologies to developing and emerging countries.
The technologies are evaluated for registration on STePP by the UNIDO STePP Evaluation Committee based on the following criteria;
1) Applicability in Developing and Emerging Countries
2) Competitive Advantage
3) Conformity with UNIDO’s Mandate of Industrial Development
4) Contribution to Sustainability
5) Technical Maturity
STePP registers technologies in five large categories: Energy, Environment, Agribusiness, Human Health, and Disaster Management. Explanations on what technologies are included in each category can be found below.
