About the Project

Overview This exhibition facility opened in the Innovation Garden OSAKA Center, the technology development base for Konica Minolta's imaging IoT/AI business, one of its main businesses. Under the slogan "GO BEYOND HUMAN VISION," the facility aims to not only introduce current technology but also convey the future possibilities of the imaging IoT/AI business, promote open innovation with customers and partner companies, and further expand human resources.
Issues/Themes Not only will we disseminate our vision and technology for imaging IoT/AI, but we will also be a gateway for co-creation that will uncover social needs and generate new ideas, thereby contributing to the exploration and promotion of collaboration and the expansion of human resources.
Space Solution/Realization The exhibition will feature an exhibition on the history of innovation, centered around an area based on the motif of a spectrum waveform, which is a symbol of imaging IoT/AI, and will include a main theater, a digital archive, five thematic exhibits under the theme of "seeing," and a presentation area.
By structuring the exhibition around the five themes of "Seeing," with content that includes not only technology and business but also cultural and historical perspectives, we hope to inspire imagination for new innovation and encourage co-creation.
