With over three centuries of history and traditions, Toyama’s pharmaceutical industry is the core industry of our prefecture. Toyama is home to several pharmaceutical manufacturing industries, including new pharmaceutical developers, as well as manufacturers of generic drugs, pharmaceutical ingredients, and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. These companies boast a high level of manufacturing technology, particularly with regard to solid preparations for internal use and special preparations. At the Toyama Pharmaceutical Valley Development Consortium (“Pharmaceutical Consortium”), we are leveraging these strengths to carry out activities with the aim of promoting Toyama Prefecture’s pharmaceutical industry and producing talented individuals that will support “Toyama Pharmaceutical Valley.” We achieve this through R&D and the development of specialist talent in the pharmaceutical sector in collaboration with industry, academia, and the government.
