Initiative details
In the biotech field, despite the fact that there are many promising academic seeds in Japan, especially in Tokyo, the potential has not been fully realized due to the gap between the needs of major pharmaceutical companies and academic seeds, lack of knowledge on how to commercialize research on a global scale, lack of human resources for management, and other issues. This initiative will focus on the current status of biotech (biotechnology). In this initiative, the following three efforts will be made to address the current issues in the biotech (drug discovery and medical) field:
1. Mapping of biotech startups and technology seeds (DB creation) and startups and formation of a community of supporters (major companies, VCs, universities)
2. Implement a consortium-type accelerator program for biotech startups and technology seeds, involving major pharmaceutical companies.
