The Waseda Open Innovation Forum 2023 (WOI), an event where cutting-edge technologies and research are introduced and presented, was held at Waseda University for two days on November 9th and 10th. WOI, an industry-academia-government collaboration event, held a special event, the Waseda Leaders Forum, a roundtable discussion by company executives who graduated from the university. This was an unprecedented forum that brought together executives from Japan's leading companies, including Toyota, Sony, and Panasonic, and the Okuma Memorial Hall, where the event was held, was packed with attendees. In addition, a variety of programs were held, including lectures by top researchers, technological exhibits on cutting-edge research in areas such as medicine, ICT, and the environment, and exhibits from university-based ventures. Visitors commented, "I became interested in developments that capture the times," and "I was able to come into contact with technologies that I would not normally come into contact with," creating a match between industry, academia, and government collaboration led by "Research at Waseda." The organizers said, "We would like to continue to aim to realize the Waseda Open Innovation Ecosystem, which will comprehensively promote industry-academia collaboration, human resource development, and intellectual property creation." https://waseda-oif23.jp/ *This content has been produced at the request of a company.
