7.4.4.2 Constructing an Open Innovation Platform
To realise the ‘in-body hospital’, it is necessary to gather all possible research resources such as equipment, human resources, funds, information and technology, etc., across different research fields and develop a community to provide a forum to innovate. Therefore, the iCONM was developed, which is independent of universities and firms, in the KING Skyfront, located close to Haneda Airport and began its operation in April 2015.
With state-of-the-art laboratory equipment to allow undertaking comprehensive R&D from organic synthesis and microfabrication to pre-clinical testing, the iCONM is a unique research facility designed for the purpose of promoting open innovation through industry-university-government and medical-engineering partnerships. Research projects had traditionally been realised with a specific university or research institution taking the lead so that regional resources are sometimes not fully utilised. However, KING Skyfront consists of firms located in the Keihin Industrial Zone and local small and medium businesses, and they are beginning to launch initiatives geared toward regional alliance led by the iCONM. The fact that it is adjacent to the Haneda Airport, which serves as a hub for international exchanges, is also important. By taking advantage of regional resources, the proximity to the Haneda Airport, and attracting a variety of ideas and human resources in Japan and overseas with the concept of ‘internal hospital’ advocated by the COINS, the iCONM is playing a role in getting firms, research institutions, university researchers, and management strategy teams together and transferring those to the market and the place of production and manufacturing.
