9 Why we need Industry-Academic Collaboration in Japan? Universities R&D Expenditure in Japan Not much increased Comparing to 2000, the growth is less than 1.5 times. (Lowest growth in 7 countries) Source of Expenditure on R&D in Universities in Japan Industry has borne the expense on R&D in universities only 7.7% in Japan. In other countries like Germany and Korea, industries have borne the expense more than 10%. Source of Expenditure on R&D in Industry in Japan Japan government has borne the expense only 1%. Academics and Industry on R&D are divided in Japan. Contributing economic growth, we need the collaboration.
