Abstract:
Japanese basic researchers, known for their dedication to the advancement of science without any expectation of economic benefit, are conventionally regarded as virtuous professionals. However, current social demand requires researchers to adopt a venture mindset, implement their research outcomes for societal benefit, and contribute to society through business. In this paper, I highlight the importance of overcoming the "valley of death" between society and researchers to create useful intersections between science and business, aimed at application of research outcomes to the society and encouraging a lifestyle and challenges as venture scientists who can contribute to the generation of new industries.
