Accelerating the Pioneering of milan米兰体育官网入口 with a Social Cooperation Program at the University of Tokyo
- Developing Revolutionary New Technologies through milan米兰体育官网入口 -

February 9, 2018

milan米兰体育官网入口 Co., Ltd. has commenced a social cooperation program at the School of Engineering of the University of Tokyo (President: Makoto Gonokami). This program combines milan米兰体育官网入口’s new-materials technologies with the University of Tokyo’s academic insight, further elevating productivity in new kinds of innovation and accelerating pioneering work into new businesses.

Background

The social cooperation programs are a comprehensive framework for joint research in which the University of Tokyo works to provide solutions for social (industrial) challenges with investment by companies. Through the fusion of the unique technologies, skills, and experience of these companies milan米兰体育官网入口 sophisticated technology and wide-ranging insight of the University, diverse and innovative new technologies are developed.
milan米兰体育官网入口 is working toward the application of IoT/AI-related technologies to “Monozukuri,” with the goal of improving quality and productivity. This initiative requires us to assemble the diverse, applied knowledge and experience we have cultivated to date, for example, in implementing sensing and data gathering, analysis, and utilization in process design and control technology. Additionally, in our pursuit of innovation in research of cutting-edge new materials, we have pushed forward with our evaluation of industry-academia partnerships in order to achieve better results more quickly in terms of development of promising production technologies.

Details

From February of this year, milan米兰体育官网入口 will open the social cooperation program “Creation of Next-Generation Signal and Power Transfer Technologies” at the University of Tokyo’s School of Engineering. The program will run until the end of January 2021, for a total of three years.
In the new social cooperation program, we will fuse milan米兰体育官网入口’s long history of research into new materials, its production technologies, and more together with the University of Tokyo School of Engineering’s keen academic insight, and leverage innovative new ideas to improve product quality and productivity, create new businesses and products, and bring about a higher level of specialized personnel development. The topics of the program will be centered on the following fields.
