JST aims to transfer important research results (new technology) achieved at universities, national and other pubic research institutes to companies, allowing this research to be put to practical use.
At the "Technology Transfer Support Center", JST comprehensively supports technology transfer by assisting turning research results into intellectual property rights, and by training programs of developing human resources for promoting industry-government-academia collaboration.
At the "University-Industry Collaborative Grants Fostering Innovation in Technology-Seeds", technical seeds are searched from basic researches, and collaborative researches are promoted to create innovation by academic-industrial cooperation.
The "Development of Creative Technology Seeds" consists of four programs in correspondence to the developmental phase of given research results.
At the "Comprehensive Support Programs for Creation of Regional Innovation", JST using Innovation Plazas and JST Satellites, supports comprehensively to create regional innovation by seamless R&D from discovering technical seeds to putting them into practical use in cooperation with Local Government Unit, Ministries, JST basic research, and JST Technology Transfer Programs.
