<Prizes and themes to be established
(1) D-0. award
Partner: Japan Tobacco Inc.
Theme: Create Fulfilling Life for the future Collaborative Hypothesis to Create a "Fulfilling Life" yet to be seen
We are exploring and envisioning a future in which each and every one of us can feel "truly fulfilled". Living" in this theme refers to the totality of our daily choices and environment, including housing, food, transportation, health, learning, rest, and connection. Taking "livelihood" as a starting point, we invite collaborative hypotheses across disciplines, including biotechnology, healthcare, living environment, sensing, communication, body extension, well aging, behavior change, and human sensitivity.
(2) Territorial Award
Partner: Teral Corporation
Call for proposals: New value created by water and air flow Collaborative hypothesis for "controlling", "using up", and "re-creating" the flow
Water and air are constantly in motion in factories, construction, infrastructure, agriculture, fisheries, and other sites, but much of it has been discarded as exhaust, wastewater, and waste heat, and treated as loss, containing energy and chemical substances. In this theme, we welcome cross-disciplinary collaborative hypotheses that have the potential to fundamentally update energy utilization, work environments, and global environmental issues by rethinking the way water and air are delivered, transforming transportation into value generation, and redesigning the process to include recovery and utilization.
③パイオニア・コーポレーション賞
パートナー:株式会社パイオニア・コーポレーション
募集テーマ:進化し続ける未来のアパートをつくる連携仮説
少子高齢化・人口減少、建設人材不足、資材高騰、脱炭素の要請などが進むなか、集合住宅には大きなアップデートが求められています。「長く使える」「少人数でつくれる」といった供給側の効率だけでなく、住む人の健康と安心を支え、暮らしの変化に合わせて性能を更新し続ける「進化し続ける未来のアパート」の実現に向け、異分野・異業種で挑む研究アイデア(連携チーム)を募集します。
④リピドームラボ賞
Partner: Lipidome Labs, Inc.
Call for proposals: Collaborative hypothesis to create new value in "food x health x lipids".
Since ancient times, fats have been consumed favorably because they are highly addictive and have a high rate of energy production in the body. However, in today's saturated diet, the image of "fat = bad for the body" has taken hold because of its role as a factor in lifestyle-related diseases. Lipids that support health are the next generation of functional materials that enrich our lives and are essential targets for achieving wellbeing. Why don't you challenge to discover functional lipids together with us by utilizing Lipidome Lab's unique materials and cutting-edge technology to understand lipids in the body? Please come and hit us with your various collaborative hypotheses.
⑤超異分野賞
Installer:Leave a Nest Co., Ltd.
Call for proposals: Collaborative hypotheses for the development of science and technology and their contribution to the earth
At LIVERNESS, we have created many projects under the philosophy of "any collaborative hypothesis that realizes the development of science and technology and contributes to the earth". We welcome collaborative hypotheses that are (1) interesting, (2) new, and (3) sustainable, combining fields, industries, and your enthusiasm that we have not yet tried.
We are looking forward to receiving active applications from participants. Let's have a heated discussion at the venue on the day of the event.
