Why we need Industry-Academic Collaboration in Japan? Universities’ R&D Expenditure in Japan • Not much increased • Comparing to 2000, the growth is less than 1.5 times. (Lowest growth in 7 countries)

Source of Expenditure on R&D in Universities in Japan • Industry has borne the expense on R&D in universities only 7.7% in Japan. • In other countries like Germany and Korea, industries have borne the expense more than 10%.

Source of Expenditure on R&D in Industry in Japan • Japan government has borne the expense only 1%.

→ Academics and Industry on R&D are divided in Japan. Contributing economic growth, we need the collaboration. JST Strategic Proposal “Boosting Social Innovation through Collaboration between Industry and University”, CRDS-FY2014-SP-06 8
