IKEUCHI LAB

Be a pioneer.

Pioneers, settlers who open up undeveloped land, founders.
The history of Hokkaido is also the history of pioneers.
Inheriting the pioneer spirit of our predecessors, we will take on the role of pioneers of the future landscape.
IKEUCHI LAB will be the source of the next generation of pioneers.

This forms the center of the Sapporo Innovation Ecosystem and will act as a hub through which the innovation ecosystems based in various European cities can connect with Hokkaido.
Here, against a background co-creation system through industry-government-academia collaboration, we will create high-impact innovations aimed at creating social and economic value -- from moonshot projects in the aerospace field to social design aimed at solving regional social issues.

Vision In collaboration with the global innovation ecosystem including the Nordic countries, we will become a hub that connects Hokkaido with the world to realize sustainable growth on a global level.
Mission Produce as many pioneers as possible for the sustainable growth of the world.
