The Science Tokyo-Komatsu Collaborative Research Meeting was held on August 22, 2025, at the Ookayama Campus.

From Komatsu, Director and CTO Kusaba led a delegation that included general managers of various development centers and other engineers and researchers engaged in R&D. From Science Tokyo, Executive Vice President Hatano and Director of the Institute of New Industry Incubation Nakamura were in attendance, along with faculty members and students involved in joint research projects. A large number of people, including online participants, attended this event.

Part 1 consisted of research presentations in a conference room, where 12 themes were reported, leading to lively discussions and active exchanges of opinions.

Part 2 then moved to a poster session, where researchers engaged in more in-depth discussions in front of each poster, seemingly gaining various new insights and suggestions.

There was a pleasant surprise during the reception. Former Komatsu Collaborative Research Center Director and current President and Chief Executive Officer Ohtake made a surprise appearance.

President Ohtake offered words of thanks and encouragement to all attendees and those involved. This was a great source of encouragement for everyone, renewing our commitment to producing even better results in the future.
