The university naming rights business is an initiative where companies give nicknames to university facilities and display signs inside and outside the facilities, as well as logos on walls, etc. For universities, it leads to the enrichment of the educational and research environment, securing financial resources for facility development, and promoting industry-academia collaboration. For companies, it provides an opportunity to contribute to local communities and foster next-generation talent through continuous relationship building with universities.

Our company plans to conclude similar naming rights business agreements with Hokkaido University and Kyushu University in the future, and is also considering naming rights business agreements with universities nationwide. Through continuous relationship building with universities, we will support the creation of an environment that fosters student learning and growth, and contribute to the sustainable development of local communities.

■Nickname and its reason
Nickname: Suzuyo Mirai Hall (Japanese notation: 鈴与みらいホール)

This nickname embodies the following aspirations:

It expresses hope and possibilities for the "future" as a place where students gather daily, deepen their learning and exchange, and cultivate the power and values that will lead society. These words also resonate with our company's desire to cherish the growth of talent that will support the next generation. In addition to its function as a school cafeteria, we hope it will become a space where students naturally gather, converse, relax, and interact.
