Key Points of this Release:
- 'RISE GATE NEW CHITOSE AIRPORT,' a co-creation hub, is scheduled to open in August 2026 within New Chitose Airport, the transportation hub of the Chitose area in Hokkaido, where the semiconductor industry is rapidly expanding.
- The facility will feature serviced offices (1 to 11 seats) that allow for business registration, serving as a primary base for semiconductor companies entering Hokkaido.
- An event space will be established within the lounge to create networking opportunities for semiconductor companies and local stakeholders.
- A comfortable workplace will be provided through a joint outlet of Mitsui Fudosan's shared office 'Work Styling' and CCC's time-based cafe/lounge 'SHARE LOUNGE.'
Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd. (Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takashi Ueda) is leveraging its urban development experience as an 'industrial developer' to solve social issues and create new industries. It has established LINK-J for life sciences in 2016, Cross U for the space industry in 2022, and RISE-A for the semiconductor sector in 2025 (Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Chairman: Hiroshi Amano), working with industry volunteers to build innovation ecosystems by providing 'spaces' and 'opportunities' for people to gather.
In the semiconductor field, Mitsui Fudosan and RISE-A aim to build an ecosystem that promotes cross-industry collaboration by providing spaces and opportunities for various players, including suppliers, users, and supporters. We are pleased to announce the opening of 'RISE GATE NEW CHITOSE AIRPORT' in August 2026 within New Chitose Airport. 'RISE GATE' is a co-creation hub brand developed by Mitsui Fudosan. While 'RISE GATE NIHONBASHI' has been established in Tokyo, this will be the first location outside the Tokyo metropolitan area.
In recent years, large-scale investments and corporate expansions in the semiconductor industry have been occurring across Japan. Particularly in the Chitose area of Hokkaido, the establishment of Rapidus Corporation has spurred business travel, short-term project launches, and the movement to establish local bases. In this context, this facility will be developed as a workplace at the airport, acting as the 'gateway to Hokkaido.'
By providing integrated support from temporary use during business trips to the establishment of bases in the initial expansion stages, we aim to ensure the smooth local settlement of companies and accelerate industrial accumulation. Furthermore, by expanding co-creation opportunities from Hokkaido as a new base outside Tokyo, in addition to the Nihonbashi base, we will promote ecosystem formation linked to industrial accumulation in the Chitose area.
