Through this series, we have seen the path of entrepreneurs who have contributed to the development of science and technology information distribution that led to the present by accurately capturing the needs of the times, putting ideas born from nothing to practical use. In this paper, I will overview our attempts to bring a new breath to academic information, life science information, and intellectual property information. There were 19 M&As related to science and technology in the last two years, taking an account of content expansion and the use of AI technology. The value of a content provider's existence as a business has shifted from “raw data assets” to analytics-driven insights that help practitioners work. As an example, we look over the four acquisitions of Clarivate, which are expected to play important roles in the ecosystem in their respective fields, such as AI technology, content, and workflow support. These actions in the information business will be viewed from the perspective of experts actively involved in the industry community.

The Naito Museum of Pharmaceutical Science and Industry was set up in 1971 by Toyoji Naito, the founder of pharmaceutical manufacturer Eisai Co., Ltd., and the Naito Foundation. The Museum consists of a main building, exhibition spaces, a library and medicinal garden. The Museum has been open to the public as a comprehensive museum of medicine and has been collecting historical materials and books. The museum will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year. Its collection runs to 65,000 artifacts and 62,000 books. While avoiding deterioration of materials and books, we are working on creating a program that visitors can experience. We hope that the history of medicine will be recognized and established as one item in Japanese culture.
