Facilities
The “KYO” in KYOLABS means several things. It refers to the character “京” in “Kyoto,” a cultural leader of Japan, “共,” which refers to meeting with others in different fields, “協,” which means cooperation, and ”響,” which refers to influencing each other. All these characters can be read “kyo.” The name is based on the concept of being a place where original ideas, unconstrained by previous assumptions, can be freely combined, like a Kyoto braided cord, to generate open innovation.
