Industry-University Cooperation and Entrepreneurial Education Center
Helping industry and NIT work together.
NIT has always had strong links with industrial companies in Japan. To further these links NIT opened the Industry-University Cooperation and Entrepreneurial Education Center to liaise with companies about their various technical needs, and to act as a networking hub between different industries.
As a university, NIT has the research and development capability, and the technical skills, necessary to help design, develop, and produce products. By coordinating and cooperating with industry, the Industry-University Cooperation and Entrepreneurial Education Center helps to contribute to Japan’s technical ability.
An example of this cooperation is Nikko Techno Limited. Nikko Techno Limited was founded as a joint venture between Bekaert (the world’s largest independent wire producer) and NIT in 1997. NIT had developed an innovative production method that enables the manufacturing of small production runs and a wide variety of products. Nikko Techno Limited manufactures metal fiber and metal fiber-based products that are renowned for their high heat and corrosion resistance.
