## What the grant funds

U.S. Consulate General Sapporo’s Public Affairs Section announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out Clean Energy Tech Entrepreneur Exchange. This cooperative agreement program will provide a group of around five Japanese entrepreneurs, engineers, tech developers and other innovators with an interest in renewable energy solutions the opportunity to travel to the United States to connect with established companies and entrepreneurial ventures. The U.S. Consulate General in Sapporo will coordinate with the implementing grantee organization to recruit participants and help to shape the ultimate travel program. The total amount $50,000 should cover the travel costs of international flights between Japan and the United States, accommodations during the stay in the United States, per diem, domestic transportation within the United States, U.S. ESTA or visa application fees, and English-Japanese interpreters where necessary. The grantee is responsible for arranging the program in the United States, including meetings and briefings. The schedule would ideally include meetings with startups/entrepreneurs, as well as larger private sector entities with advanced climate/clean energy technologies. The U.S. Consulate General in Sapporo invites proposals from eligible academic institutions, NGOs, and individuals or groups at tech companies to execute this Clean Energy Tech Entrepreneur Exchange. Expected participants will include Japanese entrepreneurs, engineers, tech developers, and other innovators with an interest in renewable energy solutions in Northern Japan (defined as Hokkaido, Aomori, Akita, Iwate, and Miyagi Prefectures).
