To cope with the accelerated aging of the nation*s population, Nagoya University is working to develop futuristic vehicles.

At the Institute of Innovation for Future Society, which was established last year at the university in Chikusa Ward, the school*s researchers are collaborating with engineers from private companies to create new products.

Based in Aichi Prefecture, which has long been a driving force of Japan*s manufacturing industry, they hope to once again take on the challenge of creating new products.
