(Head Office: Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka City; President: Kenichiro Suzuki) has signed a naming rights agreement with Nagoya University, deciding to name the Group Learning Area on the 2nd floor of the Central Library at Nagoya University's Higashiyama Campus "Suzuyo Mirai Square."

University naming rights initiatives involve companies granting a nickname to university facilities, which is then promoted through signage and logo displays within and outside the facilities. For universities, these initiatives enhance educational and research environments and promote industry-academia collaboration. For companies, they provide opportunities to contribute to local communities and foster future talent through ongoing relationships with universities.
The facility subject to this agreement, the Group Learning Area on the 2nd floor of Nagoya University's Central Library, is a learning space that encourages dialogue, collaborative learning, and diverse interactions among students. Through this agreement, we aim to deepen our collaboration with Nagoya University and for "Suzuyo Mirai Square" to become a beloved nickname for students and users.
In addition to Nagoya University, our company has also signed naming rights agreements with Hokkaido University, University of Shizuoka, and Kyushu University. Moving forward, we will continue to support the creation of environments that foster student learning and growth through collaboration with universities, contributing to the sustainable development of local communities.

Comment from Mr. Shogo Kimura, Vice President of Nagoya University
We have established this naming rights agreement with Suzuyo, partly due to the many graduates who have benefited from their support. In recent years, university education has seen a rise in active learning and group learning methods where students learn proactively from each other. In response, our university library has been developing learning spaces that can accommodate small group work and discussions. We feel it is highly significant that this learning space will now bear a name befitting its purpose.
Comment from Kazuhisa Suzuki, Managing Director of Suzuyo Co., Ltd.
We are deeply honored to participate in this naming rights initiative with Nagoya University. We hope that "Suzuyo Mirai Square" will become a place where new learning, encounters, and challenges emerge for students, and perhaps spark their interest in our company or the logistics industry. We will continue to contribute to the development of next-generation talent and local communities through our collaborations with universities.
