Results Announcement of Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration
-Development-oriented Enterprises that Collaborate in Medical and Chemical Engineering and Challenge Biotechnology Business-
2nd Day(Mar 14[wed]), PM Program
Organization
Center for Academia-Industry Exchange
Kansai Branch, Industrial Development Workshop
Collaborative research with universities and other research institutions is an important point in order for development-oriented enterprises aiming to develop business with technology as the core, in order to survive in the future global competitive environment. This time, we will introduce themes that have been proven in the field of medical engineering collaboration and biotechnology business from among those research themes.
Business Challenges of Chemistry Related Industries
-Towards a Digital Advanced Company-
2nd Day(Mar.14[wed]),PM Program

Utilization of New Technologies, Information and Data to Maintain and Improve on-Site Capabilities
3rd Day(Mar.15[thu]) Program
Organization
Center for Academia-Industry Exchange
Due to lack of workforce and retirement of skilled technicians, "manufacturing knowledge and technology transfer" is a challenge at the manufacturing sites of the chemical industry with driving skills and equipment maintenance technologies. In this session, we will introduce case improvement of the field strength by utilizing big data/AI/IoT in this field of chemical industry.
Unforgettable Unit Operation
-Practical Mixing Technology-
3rd Day(Mar.15[thu]),PM Program
Organization
Center for Academia-Industry Exchange
The chemical plant process is a combination of basic unit operations. However, there are many events that can not be dealt with by the unit operation summary on the textbook in the actual process. In such circumstances, we will introduce correspondence examples and the latest technology of each company. This theme is "Practical Mixing Technology".
Networking Event between Japanese Companies & International Students
2nd Day(Mar.14[wed]),AM Program
Organization
Center for Academia-Industry Exchange
Kansai Branch, International Exchange Committee
We have already found that there are many companies that have overseas expansion and established offices and factories in overseas locations and are struggling with business management and human resource development. It is important not to impress the Japanese style but to understand local culture, customs, common sense, employment consciousness, thought pattern and aim for a solution, and as a person who is aware of it both as Japan and abroad who knows both overseas locality, we greatly expect the activities of foreign students from now on. From that point of view, we planned a forum to communicate mutually, through exchange meetings between Japanese recruitment staff and overseas international students.
