Inaugural Symposium and Facility Unveiling for Yagami Innovation Laboratory, an Open Innovation Facility at Keio University (6/26)—Commencing Activities as a Hub for Solving Domestic and International Social Issues and Creating New Industries

In April 2025, Keio University opened the Yagami Innovation Laboratory (commonly known as YIL) on its Yagami Campus, a new hub for innovation aimed at accelerating the social implementation of science and technology originating from Keio University. This facility will promote the formation of the "YIL Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration Alliance*," which will serve as a foundation for strategic collaboration, and will also work to foster next-generation talent and create social value.

To commemorate the full-scale launch of YIL, we will be holding the "YIL Inaugural Symposium and Facility Unveiling." This symposium will share YIL's vision and future prospects and will feature lectures by several speakers working to solve social issues. We hope this symposium will serve as a nexus for research, education, and social implementation, providing an opportunity to explore future possibilities for industry-academia-government collaboration and development.
