This insufficiency caused a reduction in the number of firms related to BPLC technology in Japan, as the driving force of technological innovation consists of the strength of the R&D work taking place in Japanese private enterprises. We concluded that the venture policies of the Japanese government would play an important role in resolving that inadequacy.show more
