Abstract
This paper reports the latest academic and government activities relating to Service Innovation and Service Science , Management, Engineering (SSME ) in Japan. Universities, government institutes, and government officials are looking for new ideas to cultivate economic growth, especially following the financial crisis that began in late 2008. Service innovation makes an excellent place to look for these new ideas, and SSME, as a new academic initiative for giving fundamentals for service innovation, may make an excellent basis for service innovation.
