Methodology for Follow-up Monitoring
Follow-up Research
Research was started in FY2004.
Target: All entrusted companies (projects completed after FY2001)
Scope: Up to 5 years after project completion (years 1, 2, 4 and 6)
Questionnaires and interviews were used.
Derivatives
In the questionnaire, we asked about
derivative technologies:
・Were there such technologies?
・What type of technologies are they,
where are they used, and by who?
・Etc.

Objective
We asked questions regarding the presence of derivative technology
from NEDO projects as part of our follow-up research.
To understand the overall context of derivative technology and
revalidate our survey technique, we conducted a study on the
following:
・ A general review of all follow-up research results starting from
FY2004
・The results of new questions to focus on issues related to
derivative technology added in FY2009.
In addition, we prepared a case study on derivative effects, especially
technology transfer related to supercritical fluid.

Survey Techniques for Derivative Technologies
Merits of Questionnaires
•
Easy to clarify technology transfer in a company.
•
Facts are collected through a bottom-up process,
overestimates are fewer than in numerical analysis.
Weak Points of Questionnaires
•
Facts for compilation are limited to only those
provided by a respondent. It is therefore possible to
underestimate.
- It is difficult to identify derivative effects that
occur due to implicit knowledge and spillover
effects through research papers.
- Amount of available data is reduced over time.

Triggers for Technology Transfer
Triggers Caused by Fundamental NEDO Project
① Solutions to technical problems
Examples: Information collection and development of a database for fundamental property data,
visualization of phenomena, understanding reaction mechanisms, valid material selection, trials for
low cost methods (especially a continual process), etc.
 Focusing on a valid target is necessary.
② No diffusion after completion of a fundamental project
Example: Key person with knowledge of functional maintenance of database, laboratory equipment, etc.
 A project leader for a fundamental project may be an academic.
External Triggers
① New needs
Environmental regulations (volatile organic compound emissions, chlorofluorcarbon gas, etc.)
More sophisticated and diversified specifications
② Technology seeds from other fields
Examples:
・Highly molecular medicine derived from biotechnology
・Semiconductor and micromachine microfabrication
・Fine chemicals, etc.
 Timing of project planning is important as it serves as a bridge between needs/seeds.
Summary
１． 33% of surveyed companies responded that they have
developed derivative technology. (FY2001 - FY2007)
２． 24% of surveyed companies responded that derivative
technology is mainly used for new products and new
R&D tasks.
３．Technology transfer after a fundamental technology
project is derived from project and external triggers.
→ It is thought that NEDO projects produce an effect from
mainstream R&D, and that they also add further value
through new products and R&D themes that result from
technology transfer.
