Japan, in 1998 considered that the development of the country will be S&T based (Science and Technology). From this point of view a global policy of patent deposit from universities was developed (TLO) and the role of Universities was more focus on technology transfer. In the same time a strong link between S&T development was created. For instance the Council for S&T was transformed in Council for S&T Policy, the MITI ( Ministry of International Trade and Industry) became the METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry), the merging of the Ministry of Education with the Council for S&T, the transformation of the Council of the Science & Technology in the Council for S&T Policy; etc… The objective was to give a legal framework to the state intervention in the S&T, to promote university and industry cooperation and to create various stocks of intellectual knowledge.

In China, the path which is followed seems the same than the one of South Korea, but the speed is faster. The Chinese are interested by the role of the State in the development of the Competitive Intelligence and by the development of a different Public and Private partnership. For instance the CELAP (China Executive Leadership Academy Pudong) which is a state funded institution is strongly interested in the articulation between questions of social development  and economic development. The classical Competitive Intelligence as seen in Western Countries is not widely used in China and is more or less related to the Chinese Companies which want to became world wide (for instance TCL for the production of television sets and screens). It seems relatively clear that China will be leaving as soon as possible the “copying” system, to move to innovation. This is interesting because most of the experts estimate that this path is a strong differentiation between China and India which will be remaining in the state of low technology products for a longer time10.

In other Asean Countries such as Thaïland, Philippine, Competitive Intelligence is strongly mixed with Technology Watch. The focus is done on technologies and products which should be acquired and developed for the local industries. A strong incentive on patent analysis is done.  In Malaysia the awareness about Competitive Intelligence passes through continuing

education. This will speed up the process among the local industries. This is the OUM Open University of Malaysia which develops a program with a French foreign university.

In Indonesia, the development of the Competitive Intelligence concept is close from the French one due to a long term action of specialized educational programs. Today, the IICI (Indonesian Institute for Competitive Intelligence) has been created. Various International Seminars contributed to the development of Competitive Intelligence and different Competitive Intelligence Unit are created in different regions. The problem in the country is a problem of information access via Internet and also a problem of information cost. The development of a global information offer for companies, and regional industrial clusters will be very soon organized by the Pt BMP.11
