Offshore companies that fail to join Japanese government-industry- academy collaborative projects may face difficulties in realizing business success in Japan. There are a number of reasons for this, including limited access to opportunities, lack of local knowledge and networks, missed technology transfer, limited government support, and trust and credibility.

The MyNumber Platform is a new government initiative in Japan that aims to create a single, unified identifier for all citizens and residents. This identifier will be used to access a variety of government services, including healthcare, education, and social security. The MyNumber Platform is also a big data platform that can be used to improve government services and create new business opportunities.
