Japan Technology Group, Inc. (JTG) is a technology-based intellectual property transfer company, serving as a link between non-Japanese companies and untapped promising Japanese innovations, as well as between Japanese companies and Western innovations. Our mission is to promote, foster and add value to trans-Pacific technology and intellectual property transfers, especially between Japan and North America. Our approach focuses on building international partnerships between business cultures and research universities. In order to efficiently facilitate this process, JTG first obtains technology needs information from companies (i.e. U.S. pharmaceuticals) seeking to in-license untapped Japanese innovations emerging from Japanese universities, university spin-off and venture companies, as well as public and private research organizations. JTG, then, searches and identifies technologies that match the companies' needs. Similarly, we represent Japanese companies searching untapped innovations developed within Western universities, university spin-off and venture companies, as well as public/private research centers.
