I also served as team leader (commercialization support team) at "Young Researchers collaboration Fund" (Government Fund) in the "Center of Innovation Program" by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan and Japan Science and Technology Agency.

As one of young leaders for entrepreneurship at universities in Japan, I also founded CROSSBORDER INITIATIVES Organization in 2019 with some research managers at universities and institutes in Japan to encourage open innovation around the country.
