Medical, welfare, food, agriculture collaboration ministry-agency collaboration study session

Although it is part of the national strategy, collaboration between medicine, welfare, food, and agriculture is slow to progress. We regularly hold study sessions within government offices that aim to break down the silos between ministries and agencies and work together to create better policies and commercialization.

■ 2010 Society for Energizing Japan with Intellectual Property

As a former Patent Office bureaucrat in charge of the IP Nation Project at the Prime Minister's Office and a former Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology bureaucrat, I planned and launched the ``Society to Energize Japan with Intellectual Property.''

With the aim of managing and disseminating intellectual property, we held a volunteer study session with IP experts, including Professor Kazunari Sugimitsu, a leading intellectual property expert, professor at KIT, and senior researcher at the University of Tokyo's Future Vision Center.

■2010 2030VISON “Food and Energy – Agricultural Policy” Speaker: Sato

It is no exaggeration to say that agriculture is made of oil. Energy costs account for half of vegetable prices, including greenhouse, tractor fuel, transportation costs, and packaging costs. He gave lectures from the perspectives of consumers who choose to avoid oil, how agriculture should be done in consideration of the environment and climate change, and green consumers, and then had a discussion with the participants.

■Rotary “Laws of manners that motivate people ① Techniques for controlling people’s hearts for big politicians” Lecture 2008

■Rotary “Laws of etiquette for motivating people ② Techniques for controlling people’s hearts for big politicians” Lecture 2009

Speaker: Sato

Secretaries do not quit working in the offices of big politicians. Through examples and philosophies of how to deal with juniors in factions, how to deal with secretaries, and consideration, he demonstrated techniques that can be applied to business by business owners and managers with subordinates.
