Challenge for Healthcare Innovation Eco-system in Kyoto

Healthcare Venture Conference Kyoto (HVC Kyoto) is specialized in very early-stage technology incubation, providing a platform that grows revolutionary inventions in the life science field at Japanese research institutions including Kyoto University, into products that help solve problems in world healthcare. The pre-conference was held at Kyoto Research Park (KRP) on Monday, August 1, 2016. In total 140 people from global and local companies including pharmaceuticals, manufacturers and finances, and academic institutions attended the event. Executive Director of the Kyoto industry-academia-government cooperative organization Mr. Makoto Fujita got it started with his opening remarks, "I would like collaboration between industry, academia, and government to go beyond Kyoto and to see it strengthened inside and outside of Japan, bringing even faster creation of new business from Kyoto to the world."

The pre-conference featured a case study on a successful venture originating from a university outside of Japan, business plan presentations for start-ups originating in Kyoto, and a discussion on generating innovation ecosystems and ventures through collaboration between industry, academia, and government in Kyoto.
