Abstract

Close collaboration between academia and industry is essential for opening frontiers of both science and industry. High performance photon detectors developed at industry are playing vital roles in science such as astronomy and high energy physics. Alternatively many advanced industrial and medical products came out of research in basic science. For advancement of high field science, closer collaboration between academia and industry is necessary to develop next generation high power lasers, which will also meet the needs in industry, medicine and energy.

  1. E. Shibusawa was brought up at the end of EDO era (1603-1868), when Japan was making rapid changes from feudal system to democratic system. Although he was educated under strong influence of Confucius, his view has widened drastically when he visited Europe as a member of the Japanese delegation to Paris World Exposition in 1867. After returning to Japan, realizing that the private companies supported by the banking system is the key to modern industrial development, he has established economy organizations such as The First National Bank, regional banks, the Securities Exchange and over 500 companies in many industrial fields, and also social organizations such as Japanese Red Cross Society, hospitals, universities and RIKEN
