To All Corporations Considering a Collaborative Research Cluster

If you are interested in establishing a Collaborative Research Hub but feel hesitant about making a large initial investment, you may be looking for a system that allows you to start on a smaller scale. To meet such needs, we have launched the Collaborative Hub Pre-Program, called the Hub Development Platform.

This program allows companies to begin from 3 million JPY per year, providing a more accessible pathway to initiating collaboration.
Please review the outline of the Hub Development Platform below, and feel free to contact us with any questions.
