In the Hamamatsu area, academic research institutions including Shizuoka University (Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Information, and Research Institute of Electronics) and Hamamatsu University School of Medicine, R&D companies having highly sophisticated technologies, and public testing and research organizations such as Hamamatsu Industrial Research Institute of Shizuoka Prefecture, have been working together in a cooperative manner for the development of new technologies and new products. Local industry support organizations such as governmental organizations, the Hamamatsu Chamber of Commerce & Industry, and Organization for Hamamatsu Technopolis are closely tied together to provide substantial support for the collaboration of industries, universities and government.
Here in this area, we make full use of this good and strong tie-up between industries, universities and government to promote projects for creating new technologies and industries, such as "Hit-Vit Three-area (East Aichi, West Shizuoka, and South Nagano) Vitalization (Industrial Cluster)" and "Regional Cooperative Research Project."
The Hamamatsu area is designated as a "region specially designated for promoting integration of photonic technology-related industries" to promote integration of the photonic technology-related industries. |
