The biotechnology industry consists of organizations that solve problems or make useful products by use of biological processes. There are crucial problems awaiting solutions which activate biotechnology research and encourage the biotechnology industry in Japan. This paper has two aims. The first is to assess trends in the American and European biotechnology industries and biotechnology clusters from the published data and literatures. The second is deriving prerequisites for creating biotechnology clusters in Japan from analyzing these trends. Definite trends in the overseas biotechnology industry show that the biotechnology industry constructs a collaborative network. This collaborative network forms as research institutes, manufacturers, providers of funding, management, and legal services, and administrative agencies join in promoting the development of biotechnology industry in specific areas. In general, the biotechnology industry grows through developing biotechnology clusters. We derive two prerequisites for creating biotechnology clusters. The first is the requisite of classification. The roles of institutions (universities, research institutes, firms, funding institutions, patent attorneys, etc.) must be classified. The second is the requisite of cooperation. If the various institutions achieve closer cooperation with each other, it can promote reciprocation of valuable information.
