About Special Members

Why Nihonbashi?

A city district that continues to innovate

Since the Edo period, Nihonbashi Bridge has served as the starting point for Japan's five Gokaido roads, allowing more people and goods to flow in and out of the city and creating new value. Along with the life science field, the district has promoted open innovation in the space business field in collaboration with JAXA since 2018. With its many commercial facilities and accommodations, Nihonbashi is an attractive urban environment and brings together a diverse range of space business players thanks to convenient transportation from Japan’s domestic space industry cluster.

in a wide variety of fields that are pioneering the space field both in Japan and overseas.
We take it a step further when promoting collaborations with industry, academia, and government.
