The two sides expressed willingness to negotiate on the potential for Sekisui Chemicals to produce its technology in Slovakia, in addition to cooperating on research and development.
Sekisui Chemical is currently developing its roll-to-roll manufacturing process in a research collaboration supported by the Green Innovation Fund, an initiative under Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
“Production is currently being carried out at a small facility in the laboratory. The location of a full-scale production facility is under consideration,” a spokesperson from Sekisui Chemical told pv magazine in August 2023. “We expect JPY 10 billion ($68 million), or more, for the investment.”
