DJW "Asa no Kai"

Topic

As a driving force for economic development and innovation, the importance of science and technology has become increasingly prominent. This is for example underlined by the record numbers of R&D expenditures as well as patent applications and innovations in the fields of automotive, information and communication technology, robotics and the healthcare sector; and backed up by politics as Prime Minister Abe stated during CeBIT 2017 in Hannover: “[…] there are only three things that are important for the future of Germany, Europe, and Japan. Number one is innovation. Number two: innovation. And number three: innovation. […]”. How is the transfer of knowledge and innovation from science / research clusters to industry / companies realized in Japan? Which cooperation projects exist to build the bridge and to effectively make results available? How could German clusters learn from these Japanese processes?
