eiicon Co., Ltd. New Office

Background and Purpose of Office Relocation

eiicon Co., Ltd. has supported all players aspiring for innovation, regardless of industry or scale, through its open innovation platform "AUBA," encompassing government, industry, academia, and civil society. With the increasing complexity of social issues in recent years, the need for cross-industry collaboration has grown significantly, and our organizational scale is rapidly expanding.

This relocation is an "expansion" to accommodate the increase in employees, and also aims to facilitate smoother communication within the organization. By intentionally securing capacity for all members to gather in the same space and fostering an environment where face-to-face dialogue and spontaneous discussions can easily arise, we aim to maximize the value returned to all players we support.

Holding the Monthly Event "eiicon Open BAR"

Coinciding with the launch of the new base, we will regularly hold the community event "eiicon Open BAR," where you can directly experience eiicon's culture and passion for ideas.

The first event will be held on May 21 (Thursday). This event is a completely invitation-only networking gathering, to be held monthly, centered on various themes. It aims to be a place where eiicon members, who daily engage in diverse projects, can interact openly with external individuals, fostering deep discussions and spontaneous ideas based on the theme.
