Hokkaido Research Seeds in Health and Medicine 2025
In Hokkaido, there is an accumulation of medical and manufacturing universities generating
research seeds which is a basis of development of drug discovery, regenerative medicine, new
treatments and medical equipment.
We compiled abundant seeds of Health and Medicine in Hokkaido to a single booklet as "seeds
collection" hoping that it will be help for companies to expand their business in Hokkaido.
Please see the PDF files linked at the bottom of the page for each research seeds.
