The first PICMET-Japan meeting was held at the University of Tokyo on November 20, 2004. Forty-five very active people in technology management areas attended the meeting: 20 from universities, 17 from companies, and 8 from government and elsewhere.

Participants enjoyed four stimulating presentations, which are summarized below, and productive discussions and communications. They all agreed that PICMET-Japan meetings should be held two or three times a year. [More] |
