Thanks to your support, the Design Solution Forum has reachedits 7th anniversary. In addition, the event was the largest ever, withover 700 visitors last year.
As the environment surrounding engineers has dramaticallydiversified in recent years, in order for Japanese engineering toachieve further development, “co-creation of knowledge” throughcommunication that transcends conventional boundaries isincreasingly required. Based on the basic concept of “Build andExpand the Designer’s Network” we will evolve as a communitythat transcends the boundaries of industries and sectors. Taking
this opportunity, we’d be happy if we could help engineers createa spiritual source of vitality, ingenuity and intellectual creativity.
This year we are preparing many events while considering theopinions of engineers at the forefront of their industries. We
keenly anticipate everyone’s participation.
