The OIST Innovation Incubator is an incubation facility for early-stage deep-tech startups, equipped with shared offices, shared equipment, and shared laboratories. It provides an environment for entrepreneurs to assess the potential of their businesses and develop prototypes. Additionally, it serves as a community space for innovation. The first building, opened in 2019, houses approximately 40 companies, including startups, experts, supporters, and companies wishing to collaborate with OIST.
Currently, a new incubation facility is being constructed across from the first building. This new facility will consist of two buildings totaling 2,000 square meters, and will include coworking spaces, wet labs, dry labs, and meeting rooms. It aims to provide an environment where more companies can gather and serve as a hub for innovation.
