World-leading open innovation platform of fusion technologies bridged IT and transportation system areas

“World-Leading Open Innovation Platform of Fusion Technologies Bridged IT and Transportation System Areas” proposed by Tohoku University (Organizing institution: Tohoku University; Project leader: Tetsuo Endoh, Director of Center for Innovative Integrated Electronic Systems) was accepted for Program on Open Innovation Platform with Enterprises, Research Institute and Academia (OPERA)　in the 2016 fiscal year by JST.
This program works with Kyoto University, Yamagata University, and tens of world-leading enterprises, and aims for creating an open innovation platform about the following R&D areas; 1)Edge computing device for IoT with extremely low power consumption 2)Hybrid integrated power device for high efficiency energy conversion 3)Intelligent electronics system for highly efficient labor-intensive transportation system
We design a non-competitive area for above three R&D areas. We will contribute for the industry to create a new business by the synergy of these non-competitive R&D areas and the competitive one organized by Tohoku University.
