KAST, Voyage to the New Stage!
  Message from KAST's Chairman

In April 2005, Kanagawa Academy of Science and Technology (KAST) and the Kanagawa High-Technology Foundation (KTF) were integrated and evolved into a new institution.
Both institutions were founded in Kanagawa Science Park in 1989 to provide support for R&D and productive activities for universities and companies. The two institutions had been working as creative centers of science and technology in Kanagawa Prefecture to encourage creative research and to provide support for technological development in cutting-edge fields.
However, science and technology today demands an even higher level of intellectual creativity, in response to the drastic changes in this circumstance. For twenty years, the KAST has been integrated as a public center with diverse functions, especially in collaboration between industry and academia. And also the KAST has been contributing to stimulate the local industry and to improve the QOL (Quality Of Life) of people in Kanagawa prefecture.
Taking this opportunity, I would like to thank you for the past support and dedicate myself to the management of the institution as well. I really look forward to your continued business and support in the future.

Chairman, Kanagawa Academy of Science & Technology
Yoshihiro Maki
