What campas create does

Campus Create Co., Ltd. (株式会社キャンパスクリエイト) is a Tokyo-based wide-area Technology Licensing Organization (TLO) founded in 1999 and headquartered on the University of Electro-Communications campus in Chofu City. Recognized by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Education, the company coordinates industry-academia-government collaboration for Japanese enterprises, universities, research institutions, local governments, and startups. It has coordinated over 700 collaboration themes across its network, and operates a proprietary TLOI2.0 consortium methodology designed to accelerate the social implementation of university-generated technologies.

The company's core offerings are organized into four service lines: Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration, Global Open Innovation (supported by a Shenzhen subsidiary and Singapore operations), University/Research Institution Support, and Industrial Promotion (including designated management of the Minato City Industrial Promotion Center). Beyond direct coordination services, Campus Create operates a portfolio of vertical web media platforms — Warehouse DX Navi, Inclusive X, Physical AI Frontier, and the Startup Overseas Expansion Support Platform — that serve as both information channels and lead-generation assets. The Technology Seeds Database catalogs university research across fields including power amplifiers, hyperspectral imaging, medical engineering, and robotics.

Revenue is generated through technology licensing and royalty arrangements, professional consulting fees, designated management contracts for government facilities, and partnership-driven programs such as the Singapore Bridge Initiative and the PFAS Countermeasure Technology Consortium (which counts Toyota Motor Corporation as a participant). Pricing is quote-based and negotiated per engagement rather than published. The company maintains wholly-owned subsidiaries in Shenzhen, China, and Singapore to support international open innovation, and participates in government-supported programs including TOKYO SUTEAM and the Tokyo Next-Generation Communications Startup Support initiative. Notable customers include Toyota Motor Corporation, Core Mix Co., Ltd. (in a joint research project with University of Tokyo on neuroscience of manga reading), Japanese startups in the overseas-expansion pipeline, and logistics firms engaging with Warehouse DX Navi. Leadership consists of President and CEO Kohei Yasuda.
