Tie-up project with economic news platform "NewsPicks
Innovation for 2030 NewsPicks x Pharmaceutical Cooperative Association
The economic news platform "NewsPicks" and the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association of Japan (PMAJ) have teamed up to discuss what needs to be done to ensure that innovations from Japan continue to emerge, and whether "drug discovery" is the key to reviving Japan's ability to create innovations. A variety of opinion leaders gathered to discuss these topics in two programs and an event.
The UPDATE｜How can Japan, a "poor country," become an innovation superpower?
The program was delivered from "The UPDATE," a popular content on "NewsPicks.
Many view the Japanese goods and services market as no longer attractive due to the declining population caused by the falling birthrate and aging population, and the decline in Japan's domestic purchasing power.
Is Japan really becoming a "poor country"? In what areas does the potential of the mature domestic market lie? We will have an in-depth discussion on the future strategies necessary for Japan to become an innovation powerhouse.
New Session｜Break free from problem-solving. New Innovation in an Era of Downsizing
The program was delivered from "New Session," a popular content on "NewsPicks.
In June 2022, the "Integrated Innovation Strategy 2022" was approved by the Cabinet under the second Kishida Cabinet. With the domestic market shrinking due to the declining birthrate and the threat of a shortage of human resources in the future, it is imperative that Japan continues to sow the seeds of innovation.
We will thoroughly discuss concrete ways to achieve this goal.
News Picks Event｜The Key to Innovation that Will Lead to a "Drug Discovery Revolution
In collaboration with "NewsPicks," we have organized a real event.
Japan is an "advanced country" facing challenges such as declining total population and working population, as well as a super-aging society. By viewing these challenges as "national demand," Japan has the potential to create innovative drugs and innovations that can be applied worldwide if it invests resources in healthcare and medical care.
In this event, we will discuss the importance of "drug discovery" and "medical care," areas that have attracted the most attention from both a social and business perspective.
