Panasonic Laboratory Tokyo

Panasonic Laboratory Tokyo (PLT) has been renovated as an R&D base in Tokyo that practices new ways of working in the With/Post COVID-19 environment.
PLT opened in Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo in April 2016, and then moved to its current location in Shiodome Hama-rikyu in December 2018. As the "Hitotics Research Institute," it has operated as a "co-creation lab" that conducts co-creation innovation activities such as AI-HUB and Robotics-HUB, which collaborate with both inside and outside the company, with a focus on engineers who develop cutting-edge technologies that are close to people.

In the With/After COVID-19 environment, we are not limiting the place of work to the office, but are realizing new ways of working, including online work. Also, based on the fact that the office has been positioned since its opening as a base for practicing co-creation innovation both inside and outside the company, we reviewed the value and functions required of the office and redesigned it together with PLT members based on the concept of "SHARE."

"SHARE" means sharing various things such as the "thoughts and experiences," "information and context," and "friends and encounters" of the people who work together at PLT.
With the office renovation marking the start of a new "SHARE," PLT is a facility where its tenants take the lead in constantly updating themselves, as an R&D base for "questioning, feeling and sharing" well-being in daily life and work, and as an office for invigorating co-creation innovation activities.
