OUTSENSE's efforts to build an era of human life in space."

Mr. Takahashi Takayama
CEO and Representative Director, OUTSENSE Inc.

During his graduate school days, he belonged to JAXA laboratory as a JAXA Special Usage Joint Researcher to study large structures, but he left the laboratory at the same time he left the graduate school because he felt the gap between research and social implementation. Since then, he has been engaged in private space development as an intern at ispace, while considering commercialization as a means of social implementation, aiming to build a base where humans can operate in space. (OUTSENSE). Currently, he is promoting corporate collaboration to create new businesses in various industries using origami as a seed technology, and is involved in initiatives ranging from business development to product development.

<Special Programs

[Project 1
ADvance Lab Bar
Planning Partner: ADvance Lab
Subject: Students
ADvance Lab, which was established in August this year with the aim of becoming "the world's first research institute where the next generation can work on world-changing research," will hold a workshop to generate collaborative research! By providing an opportunity to integrate each other's knowledge and technology in a casual atmosphere and without being bound by differences in fields, let's create the very research that will change the world from this place! We are looking forward to your participation, whether you are a next-generation researcher interested in solving social problems or in collaborative research, or you are just looking to expand your research community and human network!

Project 2
ikimonozukuri workshop - Let's create new products by taking advantage of the characteristics of living creatures! 〜Workshop
Planning Partner: Kanagawa Institute of Technology
Subject: Students
From lotus leaves to yogurt lids, from kingfishers to bullet trains... There are many useful products around us that make use of the shapes and characteristics of living things. In this workshop, teams will work with bioengineering researchers involved in ikimono creation to come up with new products derived from the characteristics of living creatures. Let's give shape to our own unique plan!

Project 3
A four-dimensional pocket that produces the tools researchers want to make - 3D printers for using 3D technology in schools.
Planning partner: Nippo Co.
Target: Teachers (students may be present)
3D modeling and 3D printing technology is now commonly used by researchers around the world, and even middle and high school students in the U.S., Europe, and China are familiar with its use. Although still rare in the Japanese educational field, they are very useful for making tools necessary for research and mock-ups of developments! Through this project, Nippo will work with teachers to develop services to develop and promote 3D printers and modeling technology that can be easily used by teachers and middle and high school students in Japan!
