Professional Career and Track Record of Achievement in Technology Transfer:
2006.6–Present: I worked in the DEPARTMENT, KKK University. I have committed to leading about XX R&D projects toward university technology commercialization below. One of my major projects is described in the case study attached.
l XX Project:
The size of the deal: FY YEAR– YEAR of ¥****** ($ ***** at 1 $ = ~¥100 yen)
The impact of the deal: a new product “xxx” was commercialized on FY 2012
l YY Project:
….
l Initiation and management of institutional gap funding:
In August 2011, our team launched an institutional gap funding program, the iPoC (“industrial-proof-of-concept) program, inspired by Boston University’s institutional gap funding program. The iPoC program uses funds to validate early-stage projects with clear commercial and medical potential. By enabling researchers to generate relevant data, reach key milestones, or show proof-of concept, the iPoC program helps bring new technologies to a state mature enough to allow them to be licensed or spun off as a New Venture. Figure 1 below presents an overview of Osaka University’s iPoC program.

My role was designing the basic structure of the program using Boston University’s Gap Funding Program, which I learned through the university’s Technology Transfer Fellowship Program, as a reference and then collaborating our team in executing the program. The outcomes of our institutional gap funding program are described below:

l Initiation and management of an inter-disciplinary course on technology commercialization:
In August 2011, following Dr. Ashley Stevens’ technology commercialization course at Boston University, our team launched G-TEC, a short-term inter-disciplinary course on technology commercialization, in close collaboration with Boston University and the UNITT. G-TEC 2013 was the third year of the course. About 30 people graduate from G-TEC every year. About four to five technologies being developed at Osaka University were assessed through G-TEC’s technology assessment and venture assessment projects, the results of which were used to generate commercialization strategies for these technologies. My role was designing the basic structure of G-TEC with reference to Dr. Ashley Stevens’ technology commercialization course at Boston University and leading our team in executing G-TEC in close collaboration with the senior staff of our office, who proposed initiating G-TEC at Osaka University.

Academic research on technology transfer:
1. Ashley J. Stevens and Kosuke Kato, Technology Transfer’s Twenty-Five Percent Rule, les Nouvelles-The journal of the Licensing Executives Society International, 44-51, 2013.03, http://www.lesi.org/les-nouvelles/, Full Paper. (see the attachment); my role in this academic paper was conducting statistical analysis of the AUTM STATT dataset.
Boston University’s Technology Transfer Fellowship Program as Customized for the Applicant
During FY 2006-2010, Dr. Ashley Stevens, past president of AUTM and former executive director of Boston University’s Technology Development Office, accepted fourteen (14) technology transfer fellows from overseas universities and research institutions. The basic concept of this program is summarized in Figure 1 below.

Fortunately, I was the first Japanese fellow to apply for and join this fellowship program. After a discussion with Dr. Ashley Stevens and senior members of my office, I decided to follow the program in order to learn the following, mostly through on-the-job training:
l How to initiate and manage an institutional gap funding program
l How to initiate and manage an interdisciplinary course on technology commercialization
l How to manage R&D projects for university technology commercialization
l How to write academic papers on technology transfer
l How to contribute to associations for university technology transfer
I worked at Boston Unviersity’s Technology Development Office for 45 days during this program. I was trained for about 360 hours (eight hours a day for 45 days), roughly equivalent to 360 CE credits.
Thanks to this fellowship program, our team initiated an institutional gap funding program and an interdisciplinary course on technology commercialization. Figure 2 below summarizes the results of my completion of the program. Further details are described in the attached CV and my record of achievement in leading technology transfer projects.
