Beginning in fiscal year 2025, a new industry\u2013academia collaboration project\u2014supported by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry\u2014was launched to implement these research outcomes in society as a new industry <em>originating from Japan<\/em>. OPV technology has excellent features that differ from conventional solar cells, opening up new markets and possibilities for practical applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this seminar, we will introduce these research activities and ongoing efforts toward social implementation, while also aiming to build a co\u2011creation network\u2014with companies, government agencies, and end users\u2014for advancing the social deployment of OPV. This event is intended to provide an opportunity to explore the future of OPV together and to expand the community of partners who will work collaboratively toward its realization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u25a0 Date &amp; Time:<\/strong> Wednesday, May 20, 13:30\u201317:30\uff08Reception:13:00-)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u25a0Organizer:<\/strong> Hiroshima University<br>\u25a0<strong>Sponsorship:<\/strong> Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha, Ltd.<br>Sojitz Innovation Technology Research Institute, Inc.<br><strong>\u25a0Cooperation: <\/strong>Hiroshima Prefecture, The Chugoku Electric Power Co., Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u25a0 Venue: <\/strong>Hiroshima Convention Hall, Grand Hall 3A  <br>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hir.conventionhall.jp\/en_overview.html\">HIROSHIMA Convention Hall | Overview<\/a>)<br><em>Please note that no hybrid (online) streaming will be provided on the day of the event.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u25a0 Program and Presentation Titles for the Day:<\/strong> Please refer to the attached poster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u25a0 Speakers (titles omitted)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Keynote Lecture<\/strong><strong>: Jun Watanabe<\/strong>\u3000\u3010Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Innovation and Environment Bureau, International Electrical Standards Division\u3011<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lecture 1: <\/strong><strong>Itaru Osaka<\/strong>\u3010Deputy Director, A\u2011ESG Center for Science and Technology, Hiroshima University\u3011<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lecture 2: Shiro Ikuhara<\/strong>\u3010Director, Reikoh Co., Ltd. \u3011<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lecture 3: Yasuyuki Watanabe<\/strong>\u3010Professor, Suwa University of Science\u3011<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lecture 4:<\/strong> <strong>Takashi Yanagisawa <\/strong>\u3010 Executive Officer \/ General Manager, Nanotechnology Development Office GSI Creos Co., Ltd\u3011<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lecture 5: Mitsuaki Komoto<\/strong>\u3010Specially Appointed Professor, Town\uff06 Gown Institute of Innovation for the Future(TGIF),&nbsp;Hiroshima University\u3011<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><br>\u25a0 Registration<\/strong><br> Please register using the registration form below:\u3000<a href=\"https:\/\/jpn01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefense.com%2Fv3%2F__https%3A%2Fforms.cloud.microsoft%2FPages%2FResponsePage.aspx%3Fid%3D3l5gFBUaGkmlUKvng0fk8HosAKpsSPJIiNcKZbHr7qdUNVZIUEM5UURCT0pEMTgwTDFFR1NTM1VHVC4u__%3B!!BKtBCdlgRQ!aPdwYPo-o8LMPhD6E7hFOZ6w7PEDq7R5Ne9GmxD49TvlvTzY4BYvnnAWPY-XAM0rEVQyt9oA_wBVvXoYMc9Fi_l6ocU%24&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cb245907%40hiroshima-u.ac.jp%7C7ac6f7f086974328a5c408de8efa7092%7Cc40454ddb2634926868d8e12640d3750%7C1%7C0%7C639105403444416353%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=DhRcseQIqIL6Cq75gVTwY1vPgj3OCd%2FD%2BoUunuRmxCU%3D&amp;reserved=0\">Registration Form for the OPV Co\u2011Creation Seminar<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions, please contact us at the email address below.<br>\u2709\u202ftgif@hiroshima-u.ac.jp<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><br><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/tgif.hiroshima-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TGIF_OPVseminar\uff3fposter_eg.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of TGIF_OPVseminar\uff3fposter_eg.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-804ba188-9755-421a-a4c5-6c41b7083450\" href=\"https:\/\/tgif.hiroshima-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TGIF_OPVseminar\uff3fposter_eg.pdf\">TGIF_OPVseminar\uff3fposter_eg<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/tgif.hiroshima-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TGIF_OPVseminar\uff3fposter_eg.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-804ba188-9755-421a-a4c5-6c41b7083450\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hiroshima University, through the A\u2011ESG Center for Science and Technology and the Town &amp; Gown Innovation Laboratory (TGIF), will host the Organic Photovoltaics (OPV) Co\u2011Creation Seminar, \u201cHiroshima\u2011Driven OPV Innovation \u2014 Social Implementation and Co\u2011Creation Network Building.
