Kobelco Group's exhibition concept
The power to create a prosperous future
Manufacturing has been evolving and forging links with the next generation, while serving as the foundation of our society. Even if we might be living a future beyond our imagination as a result of numerous innovations, manufacturing technology will be always with us.
Our aim is to create exhibitions that covey the joy of manufacturing to future generations and bring them hope, inspiring their interest in driving innovations into the future.
Symbol Zone
Future city projected on a 2-meter diameter spherical display
Creative Tower
A huge spherical display is the first thing you see as you enter the booth. The Symbol Zone stimulates your imagination with images changing from the “city of today” to the “city of the future.”
Highlights
The children's drawings of “the city we want to live in” are transformed into the city of the future.
Real Zone
The linkage of manufacturing and community development is expressed with graphics and a ball roller coaster mechanism.
Power to change
The graphics are created by combining digital expression projected on the wall with physical movement of a ball rolling down the coaster to bring a joyful and lively presentation of the linkage of manufacturing that sustains and forms our society, with Kobelco Group-related technologies and products as a motif.
Highlights
You can experience community development and manufacturing by following the balls as they pass through the roller coaster mechanism one after another.
Dynamic Zone
Images of the present and future manufacturing displayed on a giant screen
Passion & Hope
The Dynamic Zone showcases the tremendous power of manufacturing with graphics projected on a 5.25-meter-high screen. It represents the present and future of manufacturing, which evolves and develops to create a prosperous future.
Highlights
On a large screen, you can see dynamic images of a journey into the factory guided by a boy piloting a drone. Explore the “future city” that the kid saw in his dream and find out what it was!
