11th EOI Symposium "EBARA's Efforts to Realize Society5.0 and Their Challenges" held

On October 3, EBARA held the 11th EOI Symposium on-line, entitled "EBARA's Efforts to Realize Society5.0 and Their Issues" by inviting prominent teachers from Japan.

Our Ebara Open Laboratory (hereinafter: EOL)^*1 has developed Ebara Hi-tech University (hereinafter: EHU)^*2 that fosters human resources who support technological development. Since 2018, the European Union has held Ebara Open Innovation (EOI) ^*3 symposium. The symposium is a forum for the creation of industry-academia collaboration that connects academia and business across technical fields.

Recent years have witnessed remarkable advances in AI technology and improvements in computer and communication technology, creating a society of Society5.0 in which cyberspace and physical space are highly integrated. It is extremely important to imagine what we want to be in the future, to be aware of the issues that may arise in the process of working on them, and to find ways to solve them.

The symposium was held under the theme of "EBARA's Efforts to Achieve Society 5.0 and Their Challenges." Professor Shirasaka Successful (Keio University), Associate Professor Wataru Onishi (University of Tokyo), and Director Kazuki Ichirai (Ridge-i Co., Ltd.) were invited to give lectures on cutting-edge research and application cases from the perspectives of system design, mechatronics control, and AI system development.
Meanwhile, researchers at EBARA introduced examples of in-house studies and commercialization.
At the round table discussions, the key words of the discussion were "Society 5.0 and Future Concept for beyond Society 5.0" and "Architecture/Architect," and discussions were held from various perspectives on the issues and solutions for realizing Society 5.0. Approximately 150 people participated from EOL and business divisions.

EBARA's long-term vision E-Vision2030 calls for contributing to the creation of an evolving and prosperous lifestyle. EBARA's EHU holds lectures and seminars inviting domestic and overseas researchers to strengthen product competitiveness, improve technological capabilities, and create new businesses.


The EBARA Group aims to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs) based on its long-term vision and medium-term management plan, and aims to further increase corporate value.
