KoCoLab (KOBELCO Co-creation Laboratory) is a place where KOBELCO's core technologies and customers' businesses inspire each other.
It is a place to discover more precise needs and co-create more valuable seeds.
The concept is "Face to Face."
By sharing time, space, and purpose while actually seeing inside our research facilities, instead of just a display of technology, you are bound to feel the stirrings of new ideas being created.
Let’s create a new development that is going to start from now, together from here.
