  • Opportunities for Cooperation Between EU and Japan On
    EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation Opportunities for Cooperation between EU and Japan on Biotechnology in Healthcare: Japan Bioventures Landscape Tokyo, April 2018 Esther RODERGAS 1 Disclaimer The information contained in this publication reflects the views of the author and not necessarily the views of the EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation, the European Commission or Japan authorities. The author believes that this paper is reliable and reasonably clear. While utmost care was taken to check and translate all information used in this study, the author and the EU-Japan Centre may not be held responsible for any errors that might appear. This report does not constitute legal advice in terms of business development cases. The author can be contacted at [email protected] 2 Executive Summary Japan is one of the major countries that European biotech companies target in their expansion when it comes to internationalisation. This report intends to be a useful source of information for European SMEs and clusters considering potential cooperation with Japan. In the healthcare sector, and more specifically in the therapeutics development field, partnerships between European and Japanese pharmaceutical companies well established in their respective local markets has typically involved License agreements on co-development and commercialisation rights. The Japanese inlicensor would typically get the rights on a product of European origin to pursue its clinical development in Japan, obtain the local regulatory approval, and commercialise it in the domestic Japanese market. The reverse situation was possible as well, when products developed in Japanese companies pipelines were licensed-out to European based companies.
