SUMIDA: Company News
A project related to quantum magnetic sensing was selected for the JST funding program “A-STEP (Adaptable and Seamless Technology Transfer Program through Target-Driven R&D)
October 2nd 2023 Press ReleaseA collaborative research and development project of Sumida Electric Co., Ltd. with Kyoto
University and the National Institute for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology
was adopted for the A-STEP competitive funding program (Adaptable and Seamless
Technology Transfer Program through Target-driven R&D) offered by JST (Japan Science
and Technology Agency).
A-STEP supports industry-academia collaborative R&D across a wide range of phases to
develop commercial applications of research output generated by basic research. Several
types of funding are provided under this program, depending on the characteristics of each
R&D phase.
Under this program, Sumida Electric Co., Ltd. will begin applied research on quantum
magnetic sensing technology from October 1, 2023, and will promote development toward
practical application.
