Promotion of the introduction of renewable Kawauchi Tomioka horticulture utilizing cutting‐edge technologies, energy in evacuated areas such as ICT‐based management of growing Developing shared transmission lines that Village Town conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.) and enable large‐scale introduction of wind power labor‐saving techniques; Developing low‐cost generation and solar power generation in the and weather‐resistant greenhouses (tomato mountainous district in Abukuma and in cultivation) and solar‐power plant factories coastal areas with the aim of promoting the Naraha (strawberry cultivation), etc. Tomato cultivation in Iwaki City introduction of renewable energy in evacuated Archive Base areas Town Floating Offshore Wind Farm Demonstration Project Hirono (off Futaba‐gun) Fisheries Research Base (Iwaki City) Fish Seed Research and Production Facility (Soma City) Town Conducting a full‐scale demonstration using multiple offshore wind power‐generating units, all of which started Restoring functions of the damaged operation in FY2017, for the first time in the world Offshore wind power‐generating unit Fish Seed Research and Production Facility in Okuma Town and developing a base for fisheries research where (i) Okuma Analysis and Research Center (Okuma Town) technology development is to be JAEA‐related (ii) Collaborative Laboratories for Advanced Decommissioning Science, conducted for securing the safety of facilities International Collaborative Research Building (Tomioka Town) fisheries products (iii) Naraha Center for Remote Control Technology Development (Naraha Town) Iwaki City (i) Planning to conduct development of analysis methods for radionuclides difficult Fish Seed Research Facility to measure that are included in fuel debris and radioactive waste, ascertaining of Collaborative Laboratories for Advanced properties of fuel debris and secondary waste after treatment of contaminated Decommissioning Science, International Integrated Coal Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) Project water, etc. and development of treatment and disposal technologies Collaborative Research Building (Hirono Town; Nakoso, Iwaki City) (ii) Conducting R&D on decommissioning and human resource development by calling for wisdom broadly from universities, research institutes and the Constructing and operating industrial arena inside and outside Japan; The Center opened in April 2017. the world's most‐advanced (iii) Conducting development and demonstration tests of equipment and devices, IGCC plant (approx. 540,000 such as robots that search and repair leak points on the bottoms of containment Tokyo Electric Power kW), one unit each in Hirono Company: Fukushima vessels, and development and demonstration tests of equipment and devices for Naraha Center for Remote Control IGCC Project (2010 ‐); and Nakoso fuel debris retrieval Technology Development Nakoso site and Hirono site "Progress of the Fukushima Innovation Coast Framework," the first meeting of the Fukushima Innovation Coast Framework Promotion Committee

The Fukushima Innovation Coast Framework Workshop was first established in January 2014 with the aim of having people around the world witness the spectacular recovery of the Hamadori District at the time of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2020. The Workshop compiled a report on the Fukushima Innovation Coast Framework in June 2014. The amended Act on Special Measures for Fukushima Reconstruction and Revitalization, which was promulgated in May 2017, provides for the promotion of the Framework and the relevant system was fundamentally strengthened with the creation of a ministerial-level council. Fukushima Prefecture established a general incorporated foundation, "Fukushima Innovation Coast Framework Promotion Organization," in July 2017 with the aim of having it function as the central organization in promoting the Fukushima Innovation Coast Framework towards its realization. Efforts are being made to materialize projects in the fields of decommissioning, robotics, energy and the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industry, etc. and to form industrial clusters, foster human resources, and increase the number of visitors, etc.
