Opening of the B Lab Yoyogi Cafe

We’ve launched “B Lab Yoyogi Cafe”! Based at the innovation café “DICT CUBE TOKYO,” which recently opened in Yoyogi, we’re building a real-world PaaS (Platform as a Service) for co-creation and innovation—one that enables diverse stakeholders to connect with organizations and individuals across various fields without boundaries.

Going forward, we will host events and other initiatives to promote the mobility of human resources across industry, government, and academia. B Lab has established offices throughout Japan and, in collaboration with universities, companies, and local governments, will work to create an exciting future together—one that transcends all boundaries, whether national or generational—through initiatives ranging from small-scale to large-scale innovation.

A message (excerpt) from Mr. Yamamoto, who has been appointed as organizer.

"The keywords are 'crossing boundaries, co-creation, disruption, and innovation.' Let's all work together to build an exciting future!"
