About Us
What is the KOBELCO Future Pioneering Co-Creation Research Center?
Based on our vision of "realizing a Manufacturing World in which both people and systems can grow together in a highly-creative and vibrant manner through active participation in order to contribute to the sustainable development of society," here at the KOBELCO Future Pioneering Co-Creation Research Center, we aim to create solutions that can act as the core of new businesses by combining KOBELCO's diverse scope of real-life manufacturing experience with Osaka University's wealth of research resources in fields such as AI.
Rather than closing off our space of co-creation from the rest of the world, we intend on collaborating and cooperating with the world at large by fostering an atmosphere of openness and innovation mindedness.
We encourage you to follow our activities as we aim to "solve the issues being faced by manufacturing companies caused by the declining labor force."
