Session Introduction

Japan has one of the most active biotechnology industries in the world, as evidenced by the large number of patent applications and products in the real market. Every day, many pharmaceutical, biotech, medical and healthcare companies, from startups to large corporations, are applying various types of biotechnologies to their businesses and developing novel products.

As seen in the examples of pharmaceutical development in recent years, it has increasingly become difficult for a single company to develop a product by itself, leading to the increasing demands for the opportunities for external collaboration in the areas of R&D and manufacturing. Those current streams enhance the importance of bioecosystems, which include open innovation and outsourced research activities and manufacturing for companies. The government of Japan has released the Bioeconomy Strategy in 2019, concentrating on the formation of bioecosystem, and Japanese academia, local governments and bioindustries are now extensively working according to this strategy.

In light of this circumstances, we have planned this session to introduce current situation of bioecosystems in Japan and leading four excellent Japanese companies, all of which are aggressive in collaborating with Taiwan bioindustry players. We are sure that you will have a chance to hear about their strategies and plans for the collaboration.

We hope that this session will help you accelerate collaborations with Japanese companies.
