From September 14 to October 2, 2026, Mat3ra took part in the JPS Annual Meeting, the Artience Material Technology Market and a RISE-A gathering, and met academic and industry partners in Tokyo and Tsukuba.
From September 14 to October 2, 2026, Mat3ra took part in a series of events and meetings across Japan. It began with the 81st Annual Meeting of the Physical Society of Japan (JPS) at the University of Tokyo's Komaba campus (September 14–17), where Timur Bazhirov and Jean-Dominique Francois presented Mat3ra at Booth 3-2 and talked with visitors about removing the barrier between theory and experiment with browser-native physics-based computation. In mid-September we also met Prof. Junichiro Shiomi, Prof. Teruyasu Mizoguchi and Associate Prof. Shigeru Kobayashi of the University of Tokyo, visited ENEOS in Tokyo, and joined a RISE-A event at RISE GATE NIHONBASHI. On September 18 we exhibited at the Material Technology Market at Artience's Incubation CANVAS TOKYO in Kyobashi, presenting the Mat3ra Materials R&D Cloud.
From September 29 to October 2, the meetings continued in Tsukuba and Tokyo. On September 29, Mat3ra Japan K.K. signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the University of Tsukuba Center for Computational Sciences (CCS) and visited Sekisui Chemical. Over the following days we met with Science Tokyo, the University of Tokyo, Itochu Techno-Solutions (CTC), Resonac and NVIDIA. Most of these events have their own posts, linked at the end of this article. Below are our latest meetings.
Our first stop was Tsukuba. At Sekisui Chemical we were welcomed by Shimmei-san and colleagues, and at the University of Tsukuba's Center for Computational Sciences (CCS), Prof. Minoru Otani and Prof. Yasuteru Shigeta, CCS Director, showed us the center's computing facilities. On the same day, Mat3ra Japan K.K. and CCS signed a Memorandum of Understanding establishing a two-year framework for cooperation.

We visited Science Tokyo (Tokyo Institute of Technology) and met Prof. Saito and Miyake-san.
We met Prof. Hitosugi at the University of Tokyo and the team at Itochu Techno-Solutions (CTC).
We wrapped up the trip with meetings with Resonac and NVIDIA.
Thank you to everyone who hosted and met with us in Japan. These events and visits are part of our ongoing work in Japan to build long-term academic and industrial partnerships through Mat3ra Japan K.K. and to close the loop between computation, AI/ML and experiment with Materials R&D Cloud. More to come.
