Some of the universities, which are expected to use the achievements of their research and development for society, might offer financial support to ventures founded by their researchers and students. Financial aid could be provided in a variety of forms. But national universities are prohibited by the current National University Corporation Act from making equity investments, except in approved technology licensing organizations (TLOs). In order to provide national universities with more support options, it would be advisable to consider whether they should also be allowed to have equity in such ventures. To make such schemes more effective, it is also necessary to consider what arrangements should be made to help universities examine a venture’s plan of business and assess its value, manage types of risk, etc., to make a good judgment before making investment.
一方、大学側について見れば、研究開発成果を社会に還元していくことが求められる中で、自校から創出された大学発ベンチャーに対し、資金面の支援を行う場合も想定される。資金面の支援のあり方には様々な形態が考えられるが、出資については、現行の国立大学法人法において、その対象が承認TLO以外は認められていない。このような状況を踏まえ、国立大学から大学発ベンチャーへの支援の多様化を図るために、出資の解禁についても検討を行うことが適当である。また、これをより実効的なものとするためには、大学発ベンチャーのビジネスプランや事業価値の評価、各種リスク管理等、大学として出資を適切に判断・実行できるような環境整備も併せて検討する必要がある。 - 経済産業省
