In 2023, the Yokohama Future Organization launched the project from scratch.Yokohama x Space Project】
Beyond the boundaries of gender, age, region, and position,
"I wish it existed" "How can we make it happen?"
This project is a place where we can talk freely, without preconceived notions.
We will be holding a kickoff event for the Yokohama x Space Project in 2025!
This event will introduce the two-year history of the project, in which citizens, academia, and companies have come together, learned, and progressed across boundaries.
In addition, this time we are also planning a space suit themed event!
From the perspective of "clothing," we explore new values and possibilities.
All participants will use design thinking to imagine the future of space.
This year we go one step further.
"Space x Business," "Space x Life," "Space x Learning"
With these three pillars as our axis, why not combine flexible ideas and areas of expertise to create the future with rich, sensitive imagination?
[Recommended for these people!]
・People who want to know about the cutting edge of space
・People who want to experience space directly
・People who have always admired space
・People who are interested in interdisciplinary collaboration

And this year, we're going one step further.
Space x Business, Space x Life, Space x Learning
Based on these three pillars, we will bring together colleagues who want to grow and develop together by utilizing your core technologies and ideas.
On the day, we welcomed space navigator Goto and Professor Yamashiki of the Kyoto University Human Space Research Center, who is a special advisor for this project.

②18:00-19:00 "Thinking about the future of space suits through design thinking" ~ Space project x Life ~
The time when citizens can go into space is fast approaching, and by looking at the Earth from space,
Our lives should become richer and more free.
We are now in an era where Prada is designing lunar space suits and SpaceX is developing EVA space suits of the future.
Space suits are evolving from "space equipment" to fashion for our future lives.
The Yokohama Future Institute's space project focuses on clothing under the theme of "Space x Life."
We are challenging ourselves to create a forum where citizens, academia, and experts can come together to think about new spacesuit designs!
The speakers were Hasumi from Amateras Space, a startup working on developing life support technology for space environments;
Incorporating Japanese culture and art into modern fashion,
Mr. Nakajima, designer of the fashion brand ALMOSTBLACK, which is popular both in Japan and overseas,
Apache is a designer who works on corporate uniforms and CI design and direction for companies such as TSUTAYA.
Looking ahead to a future society where we live in space,
We will explore unprecedented value and possibilities, and all participants will use design thinking to envision the future of space.
