Report on "ARAYA Internal Workshop," an in-house research presentation by researchers/engineers

On August 4, 2022, we held the In-House Research & Development Exchange Part 2. This time, in light of the recent coronavirus infection spread, the event was held in a hybrid format with a maximum of 28 participants onsite and unlimited participants online.

The first half of the event featured introductions by each team and the second half featured presentations by 10 presenters detailing their research and development. In addition, five products under development were demonstrated at separate venues.

Even the hybrid, it was well prepared to facilitate a Q&A session. We have devised an online/asynchronous discussion through a Slack channel as well as a real-time Q&A session.

Demonstration of a product under development. Everyone is very interested in the product, regardless of department or role.

We believe that by experiencing the actual content of research and development and products, participants were able to feel closer to the world that their colleagues are looking at. We will continue to provide regular opportunities to learn about what our colleagues are researching and developing, to generate new discoveries and curiosity, and to create opportunities to make the future interesting.
