Establishment of Road Maps to Contribute to Nanotech-Business Creation

Abstract

Road Maps for nanotech-business creations in 8 important industrial and technological fields have been established by Nanotechnology Business Creation Initiative (NBCI). On the way to establishing them, opinions of many experts in the fields were included, and the road maps of Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry were considered. The industry-academia-government collaboration and the interdisciplinary fusion are very important for rapid creations of the nanotech-business. The road maps of NBCI, which show nanotech-business plans, are very effective to realize the collaboration. In addition, considering them, researchers of universities are able to have chances to make triggers of the interdisciplinary fusion.
