Japan’s universities conduct a wide range of research.
Given a more visible platform, the invaluable results of this research
can make the world a better place.

But once they leave the safety of the lab
for the stormy seas of wider society,
these results need more than just dreams,
passion, and a solid scientific foundation to survive.

Technologies and inventions born in labs
need business expertise to change the world.
That’s where we can help.

With our know-how from the seed period
to post-listing management,
our diverse team of specialists supports each project
in the most suitable way to help it grow
and become fully independent.

“Study without application is like no study at all.”

As Yukichi Fukuzawa once said,
study becomes truly meaningful when it contributes to society.
Acting as a bridge between the worlds of academia and business,
the Keio Innovation Initiative will continue helping bring
exceptional technologies, inventions, and innovations into the world.
