Over the 12 years upto 2002 for the purpose of promoting the development of the 21st century steel industry and contributing to the creation of a more abundant life culture, the Foundation carried out study and reseach by itself and support for technical reseach in universities, as well as activities which contribute to regional development and international interchanges related to the 21st century steel industry both in Japan and in other countries.
In September 2002, Kawasaki Steel Corporation consolidated its business operations with NKK Corporation to create "JFE Corporation Group". Accompanying this merger, "Kawasaki Steel 21st Century Foundation" was renamed "JFE 21st Century Foundation" in April 2003.
Becaurse of the Authorization of “Public Interest Incorporated Foundation” in April 2012, JFE 21st Century Foundation continues to conduct Business for public interest purposes.
