JST SAKURA Science Exchange Program
Since 2014, ICBiotech has been granted for JST’s Sakura Science Exchange Program, inviting approximately eight students from Asia to experience Japan’s bio-based manufacturing industry and advanced biotechnology.
Activities include hands-on experiments, lectures, group work, visits to top-tier companies, and cultural exchange with students studying at the University of Osaka.
Some participants have gone on to enroll at the University of Osaka, demonstrating the program’s success in fostering relationships. ICBiotech aims to build a foundation for enhanced collaboration in biotechnology between Japan and Asian countries, contributing to the region’s sustainable development.
