RIKEN Innovation is established as a wholly owned subsidiary of RIKEN to spearhead industrial collaboration and innovative projects.
As a strategic partner dedicated to the practical application of RIKEN’s diverse and high-quality research outcomes,
we aim to foster a cycle of mutual growth between RIKEN and society, ultimately contributing to the sustainable development of society.
Our Main Business Activities
Aiming to swiftly transform RIKEN’s research results into value for society, RIKEN Innovation promotes industrial collaboration through four key areas: (1) intellectual property cultivation and licensing, (2) start-up creation support, (3) industry co-creation, and (4) new business development and commercialization support.
Through these activities, we provide comprehensive support from the utilization of research outcomes to commercialization and the promotion of collaboration with industry.
０１ ｜ Intellectual property and technology licensing
We identify intellectual property and know-how from RIKEN’s research results. Then, using intellectual property (IP) strategies geared toward practical applications, we provide end-to-end support—from filing for patents and securing rights, to introducing the IP to companies and negotiating licensing agreements.
０２ ｜ Start-up support
We assist the establishment of start-ups that leverage RIKEN’s research results to create new social value, providing support both before and after launch.
０３ ｜ Promotion of collaborative research and support for co-creation activities
We connect RIKEN with industry and support the use of RIKEN technologies to meet industrial needs.
０４ ｜ New business development and commercialization support
We plan for and assist in the commercialization of new businesses that use RIKEN’s research assets, including tangible research equipment and facilities, and intangible data and know-how.
