The Science and Technology Office (S&T office), Embassy of Sweden, was established in 1966, first as a part of the Royal Academy of Engineering Sciences - IVA. Since then, the home organization in Sweden of the S&T office has changed on several occasions. Today the S&T offices are part of the Swedish Agency for Growth Policy Analysis (Growth Analysis).

The task of the office is to facilitate research and development cooperation and other exchange of knowledge between Sweden and Japan and to monitor, analyze and report to Sweden on important trends in research, innovation and growth in Japan. We also, together with other Swedish S&T offices abroad, provide coverage of other Asian regions, as well.

Current programs cover the following areas:

-Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)

-Life Sciences and Bio-industry

-Sustainable Development

-Overall Development of Japanese S&T Policy and Innovation System
