Abstract

Although basic scientific research has produced a lot of breakthroughs and new technologies in recent years, only a limited number have been utilized in society, especially in the domain of neuroscience.

NTT DATA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT CONSULTING, Inc., which serves as a consultant for academia-industry collaboration and business development in this field, organized a brand-new conference named “Applying Neuroscience to Business” in Yokohama, held in September 2019.

To utilize neuroscience in the real world effectively, scientifically, ethically and successfully, the academia-industry partnership is essential.

Yet, each has different objectives and sets of values, works to different timetables, and even their “language” is not the same.

In this session, I will introduce how we tackled various issues to endeavor to overcome these differences through a meeting, aiming for a better partnership.
