Open Innovation
Open InnovationManufacturing Through Open Innovation
Our concept of open innovation involves utilizing a wide range of technologies and knowledge, both internal and external, to create new products, ventures, and markets.
Previously, we have been focusing on collaboration within the medical field, working with doctors, universities, research institutions, and manufacturing companies across Japan to develop medical devices through open innovation.
In recent years, we have expanded this approach to new projects, such as designing our new office to foster enhanced communication.
As our society continues to evolve due to various factors, customer needs are becoming increasingly diverse.
In light of this, we aspire to collaborate with an even more diverse set of partners to create new values.
