Kansai Forum] Creating a New Era of Medical Care - Venture Support Mechanisms - June 21, 2020 (Sun.) 11:00 a.m. @ Kobe

Riverness will sponsor the event.Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference in Kansai Forum 2020(Sunday, June 21, 2020), in the panel discussion "Creating a New Era of Healthcare - Considering the Mechanism of Venture Support".
The event will be held at the following location.

In the past, when looking at medical applications of research, there were many hurdles to overcome, such as clinical trials and regulatory approval, and the time required for social implementation was considered to be long, taking more than a decade. However, as a result of the crisis of globally spreading infectious diseases (COVID-19) and the united efforts of mankind, social implementation of research is progressing innovatively. We can learn from the current state of transition in medicine and glimpse a new era in which research can be promptly applied to medical care. In this session, we will discuss the new era of medicine from the angle of a new mechanism of venture support.

We have prepared a program of discussions among researchers, venture companies, and large corporations from various perspectives, not limited to the themes of this session. We are currently accepting applications for audience participation. Please visit the conference website (see below).
