If you want to run trials in public spaces, you often spend a lot of time coordinating with nearby residents, but in Woven City we can shorten that time.
The fact that we have residents is another big factor. If your testing is detached from real life, in many cases, you can’t tell whether your product will actually be used. Having residents who will use the technologies within their daily lives is a tremendous help.
A third aspect is collaboration with Toyota.
As a startup or a research institute, you need people to use or buy the products and services you create.
In our program, participants can use the assets of Toyota and WbyT, which makes the resulting products and services ripe for collaboration with Toyota.
