From page 71...
... One example of this change is that the big steel industries recently established a laboratory for applied biology for biotechnology. I do not think that microbiology can make steel, but this is the situation, and it shows that when a big industry has the money, it may choose to directly invest the money in basic science.

... Therefore, university professors are not very aggressive about getting funds from the private sector. However, in some particular places that we call centers of excellence for example, at the University of Tokyo we recently established a research center for advanced science and technology we can introduce funding from industries.

... KOTO KIKUCHI Executive Technical Advisor, Sony Corporation; Professor of Electronics' Tokai University The other speakers at this symposium have given you a bird's-eye view of science and technology policy. I, however, because of my background, cannot give you a bird's-eye view; I can give you only a worm's-eye view that is based on my understanding through my own experience in 40 years of working on semiconductor devices and electronics.
