Expectation to academia from the industrial point of view: To bridge the Death Valley

Abstract

It is said that there is the Death Valley on the way for the practical use of academia-originated novel technology. In order to build the rainbow bridge across the valley, the following key points, “originality, innovativeness and adequacy of technology”, “reproducibility and reliability of data”, “patent strategy (acquisition of intellectual property rights) in the world”, “financing arrangements”, “organizational support” and “use of open innovation platform and research network (human network)” are considered very important and requisite. If any of the above key points lacks, the practical use of academia-originated technology may become impossible.
