Ongoing Multiclient Program

Since 1994, Techno Alliance Corporation (TAC) has been offering a continuous multiclient program entitled "Advances in Materials Research in Japan." The program publishes from 3 to 8 reports per year on very specific topics such as nano materials, materials for flat panel displays, heat resistant polymers, and electroconductive polymers. The program is now in Phase X.

The objective of this program is to give the sponsors early notice of what new materials and technologies will be developed in a couple of years, in five years or over the horizon, by analyzing Japanses patents in depth and conducting intensive interviews with industry, university, and government laboratory researchers. The program also provides sponsors with early notice of Japanese developments that may represent either new competition or business opportunities. The reports do not simply review the current status of what is going on in Japanese R&D but also emphasize analysis and draw conclusions driven by the author's expertise and are subject to questions and comments from clients.

The program also offers publicly announced materials related R&D news by e-mail frequently. Samples of this e-mail news service are available upon request.
