| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We proved that the U.S. program of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) has given a remarkable effect on transferring scientific knowledge. The American SBIR started in 1982 through the Small Business Innovation Development Act is the subsidization program for encouraging scientists to become entrepreneurs. Japan started its own SBIR program in 1999. We compared the SBIR programs between U.S. and Japan from a viewpoint of scientific field in which the SBIR winners have specialized. Through quantitative data analyses, we concluded that Japan’s SBIR program cannot function to encourage scientists to be entrepreneurs. We also compared the performance of bio-medical industries in U.S. and Japan in terms of the SBIR, and found that the SBIR start-ups have played an essential role on developing a new paradigm of value chain in U.S. We then discuss the importance of “abduction and transilience” in order for scientists to create new science-based industries.
