Innovation Lab is a research initiative based in Shibuya that re-examines the very nature of future cities.
Combining both a macro perspective on international affairs and a micro perspective on local activities, it creates dialogue spaces with overseas labs, local stakeholders, and forward-thinking experts. This enables the creation of next-generation projects unconstrained by existing frameworks.
The intersection of government bodies, businesses, researchers, and citizens reveals cross-spectrum challenges that cannot be fully addressed within existing institutional frameworks. By connecting macro-level international trends with the local context of Shibuya, we will paint a multifaceted vision for the future of the city.
We will test new technologies and socially experimental initiatives within an urban context.By collaborating with domestic and international experts and pioneering players, we will create opportunities to demonstrate new technologies and socially experimental initiatives. We position technology not merely as a means of efficiency, but as a device for expanding cultural and social value, translating its potential into concrete projects.
We develop questions born from dialogue and exploration into concrete projects. Collaborating with start-ups, large corporations, research institutions, and government bodies, we launch new projects using Shibuya as a testing ground, returning the outcomes and insights to the local community.
