<Title of Lecture<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Changing the World with Materials: The Great Challenge of a Long-established Spinning Company<\/p>\r\n
<Summary of Lecture<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
For nearly 140 years, HASETORA Spinning has been in the textile business in Gifu Prefecture. The company was founded with the aim of \"coexistence and co-prosperity with the local community\" by purchasing cocoons grown by local farmers at a fair price and making the farmers' lives as prosperous as possible. The company overcame the Great Depression and has developed over a long period of time, but now the domestic spinning industry is facing a crisis of decline. Under such circumstances, Mr. Kyouji Hase, the fifth generation to succeed him, has set a new mission of \"changing the world with materials\" and has developed high-performance fiber products and specialty fibers by strengthening collaboration among different fields with the technology and knowledge he has cultivated up to now at the core. In recent years, the company has also entered the space and environmental industries. From here, the company will begin the great challenge of transforming itself from a spinning company into a company specializing in all kinds of materials for the next era. In his keynote speech, he will share his thoughts and trajectory in his own words.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
