Appropriate Technology Form Japan (ATFJ) is working to build a platform to develop and spread Appropriate Technology through cross-sectoral cooperation among companies, universities and NGOs.
Appropriate Technology
The definition of “Appropriate Technology” varies but we define it as;
“Technologies that are appropriate to local socio-economic and cultural conditions, participatory and environmentally friendly.”
What We Do
|
Appropriate Technology Forum We hold the “Appropriate Technology Forum” approximately four times a year, as a place of exchanging ideas and building a cross-sectoral network for Appropriate Technology. |
 |
|
Seminars We hold seminars inviting speakers who are practicing appropriate technology in the field, or who have deep knowledge of how technology and international development should be from now on. |
 |
|
Date collection on Appropriate Technology Cases We collect and publish information on case studies of Appropriate Technology usage, and organisations that are practicing Appropriate Technology in and out of Japan. |
 |
|
