Similar to Europe, government, business and research institutions in Japan are active in tapping the potential of the so-called ‘Triple Helix’. A large number of networks of ‘San’ (Industry), ‘Gaku’ (Academia) and ‘Kan’ (Government) are closely cooperating in order to generate an innovative business-cycle based upon academic research.
At the local and regional level, governments and universities have set up offices to promote cooperation between business, government and universities. These offices often function as brokerages between the various partners and assist businesses in finding the right party for collaboration, by setting up meetings, conferences and matchmaking sessions.
This website and related activities are managed by the EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation, a joint venture between the European Commission's Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs (DG GROW) and the Japanese Government's Ministry of Economy, Trade & Industry (METI).
