Abstract
Located on the opposite shore from Haneda Airport, the rapidly developing Tonomachi area is steadily filling up with a wide variety of research institutions related to the integrated fields of nanotechnology, robotics and regulatory sciences. Taking full advantage of the proximity to Haneda Airport, we regularly attract outstanding knowledge and technology from in and out of Japan, and are working positively to create an innovation eco-system that employs regional resources in the most effective ways possible. With a focus on Center of Open Innovation Network for Smart Health (COINS) ― one of the programs of being adopted into COI ― this article introduces the implementation of open innovation via industry/academy/government/medicine/finance collaboration. It moreover describes the summary of our strategies with a viewpoint on 1. Infrastructure / 2. Investment / 3. Human resource development, which are all significant for creating a working innovation eco-system.
