We analyzed information on the cooperative research contracts of Miyazaki University of 2009-2018 fiscal years, in order to clarify the situation of University-Industry research collaborations and the geographical distribution of the partners. We obtained following results.(1) Large companies occupy about 49%, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) occupy about 36% and other institutions than companies occupy about 15%, for the partners of the cooperative researches of Miyazaki University.(2) The number of the cooperative researches with large companies is the highest in the Kanto region, followed by the Kinki region, the Tokai region, the Kyushu-Okinawa region, the Chugoku region and Miyazaki prefecture. The cooperative researches with large companies located in the Tokai, the Kinki and the Kyushu-Okinawa regions have increased gradually after 2014FY.(3) The number of the cooperative researches with SMEs is the highest in Miyazaki Prefecture, followed the Kanto region, the Kinki region and the Kyushu-Okinawa region. There is a tendency to increase for the cooperative researches with SMEs in Miyazaki Prefecture, the Kanto region, the Kinki region, the Chugoku region and the Kyushu-Okinawa region.(4) The amount of research funds received in cooperative research with companies is in descending order, the Kanto region, the Kinki region, the Tokai region, Miyazaki prefecture and the Kyushu-Okinawa region. In addition, the amount of research funding received per cooperative research has increased in the cooperative research with companies located in the Tokai region, the Kyushu-Okinawa region and Miyazaki Prefecture.(5) The cooperative researches with institutions other than companies are mainly conducted with institutions in Miyazaki prefecture and the Kanto region.

The coordination unit at the Agricultural, Forestry and Fisheries Export Promotion Research and Development Platform @ Kyushu/Okinawa is made up of research supporters from participating universities, including URA. Since its establishment, the Coordination Unit has been identifying issues in the export of agricultural, forestry and fishery products from participating companies. Starting in 2022, which is the start of the second phase of the Field for Knowledge Integration and Innovation (FKII), the platform secretariat will conduct interviews and questionnaires with participating companies, etc. in order to conduct new research and development. We planned the provision and matching venue as “KYU-OKI Caravan,” with the aim of building a research and development consortium to solve social issues by leveraging each university's research seeds and human networks.One of the major issues identified in exporting agricultural products was countermeasures against sweet potato basal rot disease, which has been rampant in southern Kyushu since 2019. As the University of Miyazaki had started research in this field in 2019, this theme was carried out by the University of Miyazaki as a research group on Sweet potato foot rot caused by <i>Diaporthe destruens</i>, and we were able to obtain research funding.

This paper presents a case study of a collaboration between university research support personnel (URA and industry-academia collaboration coordinators, hereinafter referred to as “coordinator”) aiming to address issues in the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sectors.The Agricultural, Forestry, and Fisheries Products Export Promotion R&D Platform @Kyushu/Okinawa aims to develop R&D projects and export business models that contribute to the promotion of exports of agricultural, forestry, and fisheries products based on regional characteristics, The platform focuses on ensuring quality and optimizing transportation based on consumer needs by seamlessly integrating the processes from production to transportation, sales, and consumption. By collaborating with industry, academia, and government, the platform aims to solve issues that will improve producers' incomes and increase exports.The coordinator plays a central role in this platform. They form a network with related organizations and engage in dialogue with stakeholders to understand the issues and needs of society. Furthermore, they not only collect and analyze information on issues and needs and propose solutions, but also engage in a wide range of activities from R&D consortium building and fundraising to project management. Coordinators listen to the voices of communities and companies, design places where seeds and needs can come together, and develop proactive activities. The coordinators are indispensable in promoting cooperation among diverse stakeholders and the accumulation of knowledge from different industries to solve social issues. Through the coordinators' diverse, active, and autonomous activities, R&D projects are implemented, contributing to solving regional and corporate issues and serving as a driving force for the creation of new businesses.

In order to clarify characteristics and issues of collaborative research between academia and industry in a field of artificial intelligence (AI), conditions of collaborative research for 5 years (2015-2019) were investigated at Ehime University, Shimane University, and University of Miyazaki. The amount and number of AI-related collaborative research increased in 5 years. The increase rate was 3.1 times in the number and 5.9 times in the amount. The contract partners were major in "small and medium-sized enterprises". The types of industry were major in "information and communications" and "scientific research, professional and technical services". In terms of AI technical classification, "video and image processing" and "information in general" were the most in the number. The researchers at the universities involved were mostly belonging to faculty of "science and engineering". The rate of prefectural enterprises for each university was 60% at Ehime University, 31% at Shimane University, and 19% at University of Miyazaki. Regional national universities were expected to conduct following in the collaborative research in the AI field: collaboration with industries that are expected to grow, development of contracts and agreements adapted to the field, cultivation of human resources, and promotion of social implementation in each region.
