Outline of Final Research Achievements

The present studies aim to comprehensively and systematically understand the structural characteristics of Japan's biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry and the mechanism of innovative activities through comprehensive profiling and subsequent analysis on biotech and pharmaceutical firms, and the observatory analysis of the ecosystem based on international comparative studies. We set regional focuses on mainly Denmark and France, with an extended coverage to the United Kingdom and the United States. As a filed of innovation, We focused cell therapy and regenerative medicine in addition to biotech and pharmaceutical products. Specifically, we explored the following research topics: the management strategy and value creation of pharmaceutical/biotech firms, the business environment of pharmaceutical/biotech firms, the technological trajectory and innovation process of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells), and the practical application of advanced therapeutic techniques.
