Think Lab Tokyo is an active research hub and a place for co‑creation. Through direct dialogue with IBM researchers, we provide opportunities to discover the business value of next‑generation computing and examine how it can be connected to your company’s technology strategy and implementation. Together, we explore possibilities from a practical perspective and help crystallize the next steps.

At Think Lab Tokyo, we prioritize quantum computing—the core of next‑generation computing—and hybrid cloud infrastructure for AI, which supports AI‑native business. In addition, we present research outcomes to which IBM Research – Tokyo has made significant contributions—including advanced semiconductors (such as AI chips), new applications of foundation models / large language models (LLMs), materials development platforms, and digital health and AI‑aided accessibility technologies—as concrete examples that serve as starting points for discussion.

By translating cutting‑edge technologies into practical use cases and clarifying the decision criteria needed for governance and execution, Think Lab Tokyo facilitates co‑creation workshops, fosters insight‑driven conversations, and makes the path from exploration to implementation concrete.
