Abstract

METI formulated the Strategic Technology Roadmap (hereinafter referred to as "the STR") as a navigating tool for strategic planning and implementation of R & D investment in cooperation with industry, academia, and public institution. Formulating the STR is the first attempt ever not only by METI but also by Japanese government as a whole. A total of approximately 400 members were involved to study and discuss the STR under task forces, such as front-line junior researchers and those who actually use products and receive services, i.e., users, manufacturers, and medical/care workers, in order to reflect comments and advice of users' side. In addition, fundamental technologies, technology fusion and interdisciplinary issues were discussed.
