The Cross-ministerial Strategic Innovation Promotion Program (SIP) is a national initiative led by the Cabinet Office of Japan to promote science and technology innovation. It aims to solve societal challenges and foster new industries by strengthening collaboration among industry, academia, and government, while supporting cutting-edge research, technology development, and practical implementation.
SIP spans a wide range of fields, including healthcare, artificial intelligence and big data, and environment and energy. In its third phase, the SIP supports projects such as CLIDAS research group under the theme of “Building an Integrated Healthcare System” (Program director Professor Ryozo Nagai, Jichi Medical University), which focuses on the utilization of medical data.
