■Description
Kansai Science City is very conveniently located, spreading over Kyoto, Osaka
and Nara prefectures with long history, tradition and culture. Keihanna Plaza,
better known as the interaction and communication center of the city, was built
and is being run by our company that was established by the joint investment from
both the public and the private sectors. Rental rooms within laboratory wings
are very useful not only for IT business but also for physico-chemistry or bio-informatics.
Since the summer of 2000, with the backup from Kyoto prefecture, we have operated
the venture enterprise incubation center in our complex. We offer activity rooms
with state-of-the-art and cost effective services and a wide range of the comprehensive
support network as well. Through our activities, we'd like to play a key role
in contributing to both advance of the small or start-up businesses and to development
of Kansai Science City.
