Abstract

Nations all over the world are seeking economic growth and job creation, and the belief that encouraging science and technology is the path to a better future is widespread. Japan has been making breakthroughs of its own because of increasing unemployment and globalising large companies taking increasing market shares. Japan has made serious efforts to shift from playing technology ‘catch-up’ to becoming a ‘front-runner’ in science and technology. In 1995, Japan enacted the Science and Technology Basic Law to raise the level of science and technology, especially basic research. This paper suggests the roles government might take in the national innovation system and investigates the changes in Japanese government policy in science and technology.
