In recent years, Japan's economy has been in a long-term slump. On the one hand, this is because the population has fallen into negative growth and there is insufficient new labor force, resulting in an overall decrease in employment opportunities instead of an increase. On the other hand, Japan has made no achievements in the emerging economy and science and technology fields, and its industrial advantages are becoming less and less.
First of all, priority is given to supporting the development of relevant enterprises and providing preferential treatment in financing. The second step is to increase subsidies for doctoral students who are high-quality talents in these fields. About 1,000 of them will receive subsidies of more than 2 million yen per year, thereby enhancing the global competitiveness of these fields.
Taking the field of AI and materials as an example, Japan's Honda Motor is strengthening its research on "smart cars and new energy vehicles" and plans to launch new cars equipped with automatic driving functions - the system can drive instead of the driver, that is In the field of advanced autonomous driving, Honda hopes to continue to achieve excellent results like traditional cars.
Therefore, Japan needs to achieve more results in AI, information and other technologies. In particular, the related core supporting industries need to be solved by themselves. This will determine whether Japan can continue its past achievements in the automotive field in the next few decades. Brilliance is very important and will also play an important role in Japan's economic growth.
There are also "new energy vehicles". It is rumored that the R&D team of Professor Yamada Juno of the University of Tokyo and others are developing electrode materials that can prevent batteries from losing energy in the form of heat. The purpose is to develop "battery with better performance" and promote the development of new energy vehicles in Japan.
Professor Yamada’s team is currently focusing on “oxygen atoms in cathode materials”. If the electrons possessed by oxygen atoms can also become energy porters, the amount of energy that can be stored can be increased dramatically. In addition, they also noticed a material called "Na2Mn3O7" which is a mixture of sodium, manganese and oxygen...
Quantum technology: Although China and the United States are currently "keeping pace with each other and leading the overall lead" , but Japan is also actively catching up and has achieved a lot of success. First, the scientific research funding for "quantum research" projects in major Japanese universities is increasing, and related talents are growing rapidly.
The second is to set up bases in major research institutions around the four fields of quantum computers, quantum encrypted communications, quantum sensing and quantum materials, launch key investments, and work closely with enterprises; third, since 2001 In terms of quantum patents in 2018, Japan is already third in the world after the United States and China.
Now, Japan has increased subsidies for doctoral students in these key industries, hoping to attract more talents (including talents from outside Japan) to participate and promote the development of Japanese science and technology. Nansheng believes that these key science and technology fields will have an important impact on future industries and economies.
Especially when patents are fully covered and the industrial chain and supporting facilities are complete, several new industry groups worth hundreds of billions may be formed, which will undoubtedly be important to the Japanese economy. Big gift. It deserves the attention of all countries and is worth emulating. This article was compiled and written by Nan Sheng. Please do not reprint or plagiarize without authorization!
