Purpose of Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration

As Japan's economic recession continues, I often hear current students say, "I can only see a bleak vision for the future." However, I believe this can change depending on our mindset. What's important is to have a clear vision of how you want to live in society.
When we talk about "Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration," we tend to talk about collaboration with companies and other research-related aspects, but that is only a small part of it. At our university, for example, "Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration" fosters the creativity to apply expertise to other fields through activities where engineering students learn in the field of local manufacturing.
The purpose of studying at university is above all to acquire the tools you need to survive. Our university's "Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration" aims to provide students with a wide range of opportunities to go beyond campus and into the local community, experience things with their own eyes, skin, and feet, and imagine what they will become in the future.
