Qualtec Secures Go-Tech Grant for Next-Gen Semiconductor Project

TOKYO, Jun 30 (Pulse News Wire) – Qualtec CO.,LTD. (9165.T) announced that its research and development project, MAP Project, jointly led with Ritsumeikan University, was selected for the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Go-Tech program effective June 26, 2026.

The project focuses on developing low-environmental impact universal plating technology for next-generation semiconductor substrates. The three-year initiative aims to create a copper film with low resistance on glass surfaces using mist CVD technology. The project’s funding includes up to two-thirds coverage, with a total estimated subsidy amounting to approximately ¥100 million (for the entire consortium).

Qualtec views this selection as strategically significant, recognizing the project's innovative nature and potential for commercialization. Delivery of subsidies will be recognized as non-operating income annually based on confirmed grant amounts. While the immediate impact on operations is expected to be minor due to the project being in the developmental stage, Qualtec anticipates long-term contributions to revenue growth.

Any future developments requiring disclosure will be communicated promptly.
