Advanced Research Laboratories, hubs that fuse technology and knowledge
The Fujifilm Advanced Research Laboratories was established in April 2006 in Kaisei-machi, Kanagawa Prefecture, as an “open venue” that eliminates barriers between technical fields and organizations, aiming to conduct original, cutting-edge research with an eye to the future.
Under the concept of “‘New value creation through fusion and creation,’” researchers, businesspeople and designers from various fields confront each other and engage in active discussions and projects to create new and differentiated technologies and value.
