Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Naoto
Kan announce ESCI in conjunction with the
APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in
Yokohama.
• Method: Projects will focus on research,
development and demonstration of new
technologies, and on dissemination and
sharing of best practices for deploying the
technologies already available.
