MIRAI LAB PALLETE

A innovation space where HAX Tokyo is located

HAX Tokyo provides office space in MIRAI LAB PALETTE for selected startups.

MIRAI LAB PALETTE is located in the Otemachi building, where there are many lab facilities in which various companies gather. We set up a variety of spaces and facilities to gather, meet and create a system for a new challenge while carrying on the concept of "creating new value through experimental efforts despite being unconventional across organizations and industries".

The new "MIRAI LAB PALETTE" consists of two spaces: "base" and "hub".
