Shiga Bank Acquires Naming Rights for Lecture Hall at Shiga University Hikone Campus

The Shiga Bank (Head Office: Otsu City, President: Shinya Kubota) is pleased to announce that it has concluded a naming rights agreement with National University Corporation Shiga University (Headquarters: Hikone City, President: Akimichi Takemura).

As a result, for a period of five years starting April 1, 2026, the "Shiga University Hikone Campus School Building 5th Lecture Hall" will be known as "Shigagin Mirai Yoshi Hall."

Under its purpose of "Making the region happy with 'Sanpo Yoshi'," the Bank will continue to fulfill its role as a regional financial institution, while promoting initiatives to improve Shiga's future through the circulation of "knowledge," "people," and "aspirations," in collaboration with industry, academia, and the community.

The Vision Behind the Naming

— A place where knowledge circulates, and the future begins to move —

The name "Shigagin Mirai Yoshi Hall" embodies our wish that the "learning" and "discoveries" born here will circulate from person to person, from the region to society, and become a driving force for the future.

Shiga University has played a role in circulating knowledge back to society through "inheritance of knowledge," "cultivation of knowledge," and "return of knowledge," expanding its reach globally.

Meanwhile, Shiga Bank has also valued the circulation of value within the region.

Not just money, but encounters between people, the desire to challenge, and moments when efforts bear fruit. We believe that the future grows as these elements circulate within the community.

Therefore, the name of this lecture hall reflects our desire for it to be "a place where knowledge circulates and the future begins to move."
