The year 2008 commemorated the 150th anniversary of Keio University, and in 2009, the Faculty of Science and Technology of the university becomes 70 years old since its foundation. The Keio Leading-edge Laboratory of Science and Technology (KLL) was established in 2000 within the Graduate School of Science and Technology and has concentrated on three distinct missions: promoting collaboration between industry, government and academia; creating new science and technology; and fostering exceptional human resources. KLL fulfills its responsibilities by providing a research environment that extends beyond the boundaries of academia to embrace and promote close communication with industry and government.
KEIO TECHNO-MALL is a science and technology exhibition hosted by KLL and held annually every December. Professors, young researchers, graduate students, and collaborative researchers, all devoting their energy to research, take this opportunity to publicize the achievements of their research and development. Your opinions and advice are appreciated, because listening to voices from outside can often result in returning research findings to society that create new collaborative platforms between industry, academia and government.
Since the beginning in 2000, KEIO TECHNO-MALL has steadily grown and has marked its 10th anniversary this year, thanks to the enthusiastic support and dedicated interest by industry and government.
KEIO TECHNO-MALL 2009 includes a technology exhibition, a seminar series and a panel discussion in Hall B7 and Hall B5 of the Tokyo International Forum. One of the highlights this year is the panel discussion featuring KLL's activities in the past and the coming decades.
We welcome all of you and invite you to participate in KEIO TECHNO-MALL 2009 and look forward to conducting a frank exchange of views and opinions on the event or our research activities.

KEIO TECHNO-MALL has annually been held at the Tokyo International Forum since December 2000, when the Keio Leading-edge Laboratory of Science and Technology (KLL) was established. The exhibition, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, was started in order to publicize and share the research achievements at Keio University. It provides a venue where visitors can directly feel and get in touch with leading-edge technologies and can benefit from the achievements through collaboration between industry and academia.
All the booths present exhibits or live demonstration of the latest technology or research achievements to help visitors gain in-depth understanding.
This year's KEIO TECHNO-MALL, under the theme "Shaping the Future through Science," will not only highlight the findings of years of research in the fields of science and technology, but will also display our enthusiasm for future research and development activities.
There will be two round table sessions in exhibition Hall B5, one entitled "A Society where humans and robots can coexist" and the other "Living in the wireless age." The experts in each field enthusiastically look forward to exchanging views with you on the current state of affairs as well as what the future of the research may encompass.
In the main exhibition Hall B7, President Atsushi Seike of Keio University and a number of top figures from industry and academia will discuss the past and the future of KLL under the theme of "KLL - Where we've been and where we're going." The panel will look at the ten-year history of KLL as well as contemplate the road of collaboration that industry and academia should pursue as the future unfolds. Your participation in the event is most welcomed.
Over the next ten years, KLL is determined to further broaden and strengthen its academic and research activities. One such endeavor, based on past experience, is the promotion of international collaboration between industry and academia. An information counter for visitors from abroad is available at KEIO TECHNO-MALL 2009.
Though December may be the busiest time of the year, we would be most obliged if you could spare some time to visit the exhibition, to carefully observe the exhibits which spark your interest and finally, to help pave the way to finding a new collaborative link that harmoniously cements industry and academia.
