Tokai manufacturing industry creation project東海ものづくり創生プロジェクト

The Tokai conference of manufacturing industry creation東海ものづくり創生協議会

The Tokai nanoprocess and nanomaterials society東海ナノプロセス・マテリアル研究会

・各研究会における調査活動および研究情報の交流・上記活動を通じた新規研究開発プロジェクトの立ち上げ （提案、公募への応募など）・ナノテクの産業化を支援するための方策 （中小企業向けコンサルティング機能の充実、等）　の検討実施、その結果を国へ提言

　　既に、昨年度、推進会議のメンバーを中心に、　アンケートやヒアリング調査を実施し、　支援方策として必要と考えられるものを抽出して、　「ナノテクパワーアッププログラム」として取りまとめ、　今春、経済産業省等に提言済み

・技術情報アセスメント　関西地域におけるナノテクの動向、技術ポテンシャルの　調査、評価を実施　一昨年度、関西の企業、大学の特許調査等を実施して　関西地域の得意分野の抽出等、各種分析を実施

参加企業・機関約１００団体で、８割が東海地方を中心とした大企業・中堅中小企業・ベンチャー企業、１割が大学・高専、１割が公的な研究機関・支援機関です。１０名ほどの幹事会組織を設け事業計画をたてており、代表幹事は名古屋工業大学セラミックス基盤工学研究センター長の高橋実教授です。

今のところ、大学等の技術シーズをプレゼンし、それを基にして事業化を目的とした小グループでの研究会活動を立ち上げていくという活動をすすめています。
