Intellectual Capital
On April 1, 2001, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial
Science and Technology began operations as the “new” AIST. As Japan’s
largest public research organization, AIST employs approximately 3,200
people. AIST comprises 15 research institutes previously under the former
Agency within the Ministry of International Trade and Industry and the
Weights and Measures Training Institute.
AIST is world-renowned for its expertise in high-precision, laser beam
machining capabilities.
For More Information
AIST is seeking to license these technologies and assist with their
commercialization success to qualified organizations.
Consideration will be provided to a range of financial, strategic, and
commercial investment options.
Certain circumstances will warrant consideration for nominal funding from
AIST.
