Message from our President

From the moment humans first used tools, our civilization has evolved, along with the development of science and technology.

Many diseases that were considered incurable 100 years ago are now curable, and our lifestyles and business styles have changed dramatically with the development of computers and cell phones. However, even in this age of advanced science and technology, the world faces many challenges. We see many problems arising from the rise of new technologies. At RIKEN Innovation we put society first. We are committed to using cutting-edge science and technology to create a brighter society in the future.

We would be grateful for your support in this endeavor.
