symposium
Technology Management and New Business Startups
In recent years, divisions in charge of new business development and open innovation have emerged one after another in manufacturing companies. As the world changes at an ever-accelerating pace, it has become more essential than ever to utilize internal and external knowledge to create diverse research and business themes, and to grow them through a verification cycle. Open innovation must not end as a mere boom, but must be integrated into the normal operation of technology management.
In this symposium, we will introduce how in-house innovators who are trying to accelerate the launch of new businesses in the Kansai region are implementing technology to create new businesses, along with examples of how they are doing so.

New Trends in Technology Management
~Business potential through the fusion of brain science and ICT
Although we often hear about brain science on TV, the full-scale industrial use of brain science findings and brain activity data has only just begun.
This forum will discuss the barriers from research to commercialization, mobility of human resources from industry and academia, technical challenges, and requirements for success, while presenting real-life examples based on speakers' experiences in neurorehabilitation and neuromarketing. The possibility of new services will also be discussed.

Joint Graduate School Information Session
Go to graduate school where you can train yourself!
The start of your research career begins with the selection of a graduate school and laboratory. Why not choose a graduate school where you can not only devote yourself to the research you are interested in and pursue it to the fullest, but also "have the experience of being in contact with society and facing issues in the field" and "acquire the abilities required by society in the future"?
This information session will also include research poster presentations by students from each graduate school. This is a chance to hear directly about life and research in graduate school!
Target: High school students, technical college students, undergraduate students, and graduate students who are considering or interested in entering graduate school.

Researchers' Next Stage Review Meeting
~Considering how to work in the age of living for 100 years~.
In the 80-year life period, it was common for people to receive an education, work as a member of society, and retire at the age of 64, which is the final age of the working-age population as defined by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.
In this roundtable discussion, researchers who have retired from their positions and are now moving on to new careers will take the stage and share their experiences. The results of a survey conducted by the Research Career Center at LIVERNESS on the attitudes of pre-retired researchers will also be presented.
Through these activities, we will consider the next stage of researchers and explore the possibilities of utilizing knowledge and know-how in researchers' lives to contribute to the earth.

Special project
Regional Summits
〜Seeds of innovation born in the region
As "regional creation" has been advocated in recent years, the issues facing industries in various regions of Japan are being uncovered. By working together to solve these issues not only on the industrial side but also on the research side, such as universities and research institutions, new knowledge that contributes to regional creation can be generated.
In this session, attempts to address regional issues will be introduced from the standpoints of the national government, local governments, businesses, universities, etc., and by exchanging mutual wisdom, we will create an opportunity to take a new step forward hand in hand.
