・UNIVERSITY of CREATIVITY https://uoc.world/
UoC is an educational institution open to people of all ages and professions, where creativity is researched and nurtured.
In this digital transformation-driven era, we aim to become a "port of creativity for society" by redefining creativity as humanity's greatest capital and by drawing a map for a fresh future.
We conduct project activities and research on topics such as "creativity co-created with AI" and "sustainable creativity for the planet," by colliding various sensibilities across generations, industries, and specialties.

・PYNT https://www.nikken.co.jp/ja/about/pynt.html
PYNT was established with the aim of accelerating collaboration and creating "co-creation" through encounters that transcend organizational and positional boundaries.
It aims to solve complex social issues by connecting individuals who are concerned about various issues related to urban life with architecture and urban planning experts, and by acting as a "co-creation platform to create new options for the future of cities," and by involving external co-creation partners such as companies, universities, government agencies, and NPOs, and providing support from matching to social implementation.

・SYCL by KEIO https://sycl.space/
"SYCL by KEIO" is a workplace that proposes a new form of Shimokitazawa, supporting connections between players in the town and the creation of new experiences, based on the project concept of "Mikan Shimokita": "Welcome to an unfinished area for working and playing."

・SHIBUYA QWS https://shibuya-qws.com/
SHIBUYA QWS is a co-creation facility located on the 15th floor of SHIBUYA SCRAMBLE SQUARE building directly connected to and above Shibuya Station. By intersecting the questions of players with diverse backgrounds, we aim to create a movement that leads to unknown value.
