What is the Quantum Innovation Park Concept
Around the world, countries are actively formulating national strategies and making large-scale investments toward the practical implementation of quantum computers, intensifying global competition. In addition, due to the significant social and economic impact expected from the realization of quantum computing, as well as its importance for economic security, the strategic value and competitiveness of quantum technologies are increasing. Kawasaki City is promoting the "Quantum Innovation Park" initiative, aiming to create innovation in the quantum field across the entire city, centered on the Shin-Kawasaki Sozo no Mori area, which holds a globally competitive concentration of quantum computing technologies.
What is Quantum Computing Technology
A technology that utilizes the principles of quantum mechanics to solve highly complex problems in a short time—problems that would take an enormous amount of time for conventional computers.
Characterized by extremely low power consumption, it is expected to be applied across a wide range of fields such as materials development, drug discovery, finance, and AI, generating groundbreaking innovations in the future.
What is the Quantum Innovation Park
It refers to a vision in which diverse research, demonstration, and educational projects aimed at creating innovation centered on quantum technologies are developed throughout the city, with the Shin-Kawasaki Sozo no Mori as the core. By enabling collaboration and mutual influence among these projects, the goal is to form an ecosystem that leads global quantum innovation.

In and around Kawasaki City, a wide range of companies and universities are concentrated across fields such as quantum computer hardware development, peripheral components, user industries, and quantum internet communications. This concentration provides strong potential for realizing the Quantum Innovation Park.
In addition to the concentration of quantum-related companies and human resource development efforts in the Shin-Kawasaki Sozo no Mori, initiatives include building a quantum supply chain leveraging the advanced technologies of local manufacturing companies, promoting R&D in drug discovery, decarbonization, and climate tech in coastal areas using quantum computing, and providing experimental fields to solve regional challenges. Through collaboration among sites and projects, these efforts will generate synergistic effects and drive the realization of the Quantum Innovation Park across the entire city.
