As part of our research and development activities with the Yan Wanglin Laboratory at Keio University's SFC Research Institute, we are participating in the project Co Creation of Digital Area Design in Oimachi, a FY2024 supported project under the Tokyo Chiiki Project by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Focusing on walkability--an indicator that evaluates both the ease and enjoyment of walking. We are responsible for developing a Smart City Support Platform that digitizes the information required for future oriented urban development by leveraging geographic information systems and IoT technologies.

From 2022 to 2026, we have been conducting joint research with the Nakasuka-Funase-Ikari Laboratory of the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Graduate School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo, focusing on Space/Satellite Data × AI and Space and IT Human Resource Development.
Through initiatives such as lectures at the University of Tokyo and seminars for junior and senior high school students, we developed a shared recognition that launching the utilization of space and satellite data requires hands on, long term support that goes beyond conventional business frameworks. Based on this understanding, Team Space Data Lab was established, led by Professor Shinichi Nakasuka of the University of Tokyo, Akira Mukaida, COO/CTO of Oppofields, and our AI Research Institute.
With a neutral and open stance, the team aims to support the first steps in utilizing space and satellite data through activities such as seminars, and to contribute to promoting the use of such data by local governments and regional communities.
