OIST Testbed Symposium: Advancing Regional Challenge-Driven Demonstration Projects

Through its "Regional Core Innovation Ecosystem Development Program," OIST has been advancing demonstration projects this fiscal year across three key domains: energy, mobility, and drone logistics.

This symposium brings together co-implementing partners, policymakers, local governments, and businesses to share outcomes and explore pathways toward integrated regional solutions. Building on the unique challenges faced by island communities like Okinawa, discussions will focus on accelerating cross-sector collaboration and scaling toward real-world implementation in the years ahead.

Space is limited. Please register in advance for both in-person and online attendance.
