Established in 2004 in Nakanoshima, the birthplace of OSAKA UNIVERSITY. We aim to be a facility that co-creates with all of you based on the concept of forming a global communication base for corporate science co-creation, art, industry-academia co-creation where the "four knowledge" of culture, arts, science, and technology intersect.
