National Knowledge Manufacturing Conference 2025 4/18】Four financial institutions have been selected to participate as cooperative support organizations.

Lifeness Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo; Representative Director and Group CEO: Yukihiro Maru) will host the National Knowledge-Based Manufacturing Conference 2025 on Friday, April 18, 2025. It has now been confirmed that the following four financial institutions will participate as partner support organizations.

The National Knowledge Manufacturing Conference is a forum that embodies “knowledge manufacturing”—the creation of new knowledge through the combination of existing knowledge. In contrast to Japan, with its declining birthrate and aging population, the world’s population continues to surge, and markets are steadily expanding. At the same time, however, the world faces a mountain of challenges. Conventional industrial structures, which have downplayed environmental impacts, have already reached their limits, and there is a growing need for a new industrial model that achieves harmony between humanity and the Earth.

The National Knowledge Manufacturing Conference, organized by Lifeness, serves as the platform for creating such opportunities, and the partner support organizations work alongside Lifeness to expand this initiative into their respective regions.
The four financial institutions that have recently decided to participate will collaborate with Ribane to launch a regional acceleration program, “Regional Tech Planter"We are partners working together to advance this initiative. Regional Tech Planters aim to create new industries in their regions based on research findings from local universities and other research institutions, or to foster the creation of mega-ventures capable of making an impact on the global stage. Teams identified through the Regional Tech Planter program will also participate in the National Knowledge-Based Manufacturing Conference."

• Ikeda Senshu Bank, Ltd.:Kansai Tech Planter
• Ogaki Kyoritsu Bank, Ltd.:Gifu Tech Planter
• Shiga Bank, Ltd.:Shiga Tech Planter
• Hamamatsu Iwata Credit Union:Shizuoka Tech Planter

On the day of the event, representatives from each financial institution will participate to help foster connections between exhibitors and local businesses.
