    In Japan the Government has launched the following policies in order to recover from economic stagnation and to enhance international economic competitiveness: 1) academia-industry collaboration policies which science and technology oriented policy and patent oriented policy comprise, and 2) new business starting policies using regional industrial resources. To promote academia-industry collaboration, and new business start ones really need to use information. It is, however, found that TLO, i.e., technology transferring organization, and business incubator facility unlikely use commercial databases. It is essential that information be used effectively at such facilities as TLO, business incubator. To do this end information professionals at first need to change their consciousness about information handling that they used to do, then grasp information needs in new areas including TLO where highly motivated and skilled people are involved. Besides information professionals must think well of roles ones expect them to play, have smooth communication with information users, and collaborate with them aggressively.

    After briefly reviewing the information explosion and the emergence of the information industry in Europe, this paper discusses, in depth, current topics relating to information/knowledge management in the pharmaceutical industry as illustrated by the activities of the P-D-R (Pharma Documentation Ring) Group of companies - a corporate organisation devoted to exchanging/sharing experience in these areas. The overwhelming majority of the top 20 multinational pharmaceutical companies are P-D-R members. The P-D-R is a powerful driver for high standards in commercial information and associated services as well encouraging the introduction of new ones. To this end, the organisation maintains intensive contact with all major players of the international information industry relevant to healthcare. Some highlights from the recent work of the P-D-R are presented to help depict its impact on the scientific information scene in Europe and beyond.
