Furukawa Electric x Tohoku Univ. Co-creation Research Center for Photonics Integration aims to create innovative new technologies driven by novel ideas and to develop highly specialized human resources through integration and collaboration between Furukawa Electric’s materials processing capabilities and Tohoku University’s comprehensive solution capabilities toward challenges in our society. The collaboration is based mainly in the field of photonics, which plays a vital role in our future advanced information society infrastructure. Specifically, we are exploring new research frontiers and promoting joint research toward innovative new technologies with a diverse impact, such as the integration of mobility, energy, and information, which will contribute to the realization of a sustainable society where people can enjoy safe, peaceful and rewarding life. In addition, through co-creation and collaboration between the two organizations, we will contribute to the development of human resources with advanced engineering backgrounds and the ability to practice integrative and creative thinking with different fields.
