Greeting
KAST, Voyage to the New Stage!
 In
April 2005, the Kanagawa Academy of Science and Technology (KAST) and the Kanagawa
High-Technology Foundation (KTF) were integrated and reborn as a new foundation.
Both foundations were founded in Kanagawa Science Park in 1989 to provide
support for R&D and productive activities for universities and companies.
The two foundations spent the subsequent years encouraging creative research
and providing
support for technology transfers and measurement in their cutting-edge fields
as creative centers of science and technology in Kanagawa Prefecture.
However, science and technology today demands an even higher level of intellectual
creativity and rapid application, in response to the dramatic changes in the
environment that surrounds us.
Recognizing this, the two Foundations were integrated as a public center with
diverse functions, especially in coordination between industry and academia.
And the new KAST is geared to contributing to the invigoration of local industry
and to improving the living standards of people in the prefecture.
I am determined to dedicate myself to the management of the Foundation. In doing
so, I hope that I can continue to count on your support in the future.
