Japanese National University Corporation

Recently the policy of Japanese Government slightly turned towards the direction of applications which are smoothly used for industrialization. The university system was changed and national universities were restructured to universities of Independent Corporation. Nobody knows about the result of the restructuring of the university system, and we will see results after a decade. 

One of the problems has been that the concept of the start-up along U.S. or European lines has attracted few Japanese researchers due to a lack of clarity in the regulations. However, there has been a recent change in the law that allows faculty members at national universities to serve simultaneously as corporate executives in start-ups (69).
