Abstract

Comprehensive technology governance in emerging bio-mimetic technology (BMT) field is discussed referring to the strategic R&D investment in nanotechnology field in the past ten years. The point is how to promote the basic research in BMT field and facilitate its application to the society prior to the establishment of technology managements such as risk assessment and management, standards, relevant laws, and another social platform. In such stage, addressing the technology governance based on the mutual communication with society is momentous for nurturing trust between science & technology and society.
