November 5th 2012: Tour to the Saito Life Science Park

Ahmed Alteraifi, Third Secretary of the embassy of the Kingdom of Bahrain and his spouse had attended the tour to the Saito Life Science Park hosted by the Osaka city Government. The Saito Life Science Park (LSP) has been designed as Kansai Innovation International Strategic Comprehensive Special Zone, and with a high concentration of international research and cultural institutions, it aims to become a hub of research and development in the biomedical field. Saito Life Science Park is the most active Bio Cluster in Japan aiming at research and development in the biomedical field. It was built on a greenery-rich hill about 18km away from Osaka central area. Many pharmaceutical firms have traditionally concentrated in Osaka Dosho-machi area and a number of bio-medical research institutes including Osaka University are located in the surrounding of Saito LSP. This excursion gave an opportunity for visitors to reconfirm Japan’s scientific research enthusiasm and pass the eagerness to the international community.
