Japan Biodesignへの産業界の期待 ～産業人材育成の観点から～

抄録

Japan Biodesign was launched last October at Osaka University, The University of Tokyo, and Tohoku University in collaboration with Stanford University and JFMDA. Medical device industry is having a high expectation for this program that develops talents who will lead innovation and develop innovative devices based on needs. While the program is developed based on Stanford program, there are different environments between Japan and Stanford. The typical difference is Japan Biodesign plays the role of talent development of working people as well. Therefore we are developing the program which fosters not only entrepreneur but intrapreneur also, and will provide various courses, such as part-time and seminars. Japan Biodesign does not simply implement Stanford program as is. While utilizing the basic concept framework of Stanford program, we will develop a program to foster talents that is suitable for the Japanese environment, in order to respond to the expectation from the industry.
