On Friday, March 27, 2026, \"KINESS Honda\" officially opened in Shibata City. This shared office facility utilizes the former Honda Elementary School building and is the city's second school-based innovation hub, following \"KINESS Tenno,\" which opened in October 2022. KINESS Honda will serve as a key location for supporting research, development, and startups, and will collaborate with the Nagaoka University of Technology (NUT) J-PEAKS Project as a site for demonstrating new innovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this facility, NUT plans to establish the \"High-Performance Mushroom Cultivation Business Consortium\" in collaboration with Ivy System Inc. and National Institute of Technology (KOSEN), Kagoshima College. This project, which involves the demonstration cultivation of high-performance mushrooms, embodies the \"Re-Startup\" concept promoted by the J-PEAKS Project. During the opening ceremony, Professor Takashi Yamaguchi presented an overview of the initiative to approximately 80 attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the ceremony, NUT students hosted several side events, including a demonstration of disaster-response robots and an electric mobility experience. Additionally, participants enjoyed a hands-on rice ball making and tasting event using rice grown in NUT\u2019s COI-NEXT project research fields and stored in traditional \"yukimuro\" (snow-cooled cellars). The events were a great success, with over 50 local residents, including elementary and junior high school students, experiencing cutting-edge technology and research results firsthand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NUT will continue to support the \"Re-Startup\" of companies based on core technologies and promote industrial advancement by leveraging regional characteristics, contributing to the revitalization and attractiveness of local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
