The newly opened FUJIFILM Creative Village is a base where Fujifilm’s designers worked on the development from concept creation to architectural and spatial design. The exterior features a sharp, solid concrete structure with wide, open windows. The facilities and layouts designed to stimulate the creativity of designers and IT engineers, include a prototype production room at “CLAY” equipped with a 3D printer, and “individual booths at "ITs," for engineers who are engaged in research, development and programming of advanced AI algorithms, which require a high level of concentration.

The building employs a variety of energy-saving technologies. It adopts a “double-skin façade”, double structure with glass covering the exterior walls of the building, on the south and east sides where sunlight penetrates into the building, reducing the load on air conditioning and lighting. Moreover, all electricity used in the building is derived from renewable energy sources.

“Fujifilm's design capability is based on its ability to capture potential needs and shape solutions by visiting users' workplaces and thoroughly observing and listening to their needs. In the field of IT, Fujifilm develops AI technologies in line with the actual needs of the medical field, and design them into products and services,” said Teiichi Goto, president and CEO, representative director of FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation. “The FUJIFILM Creative Village is a strategic base for creating innovative products and services with high competitiveness by generating innovation through deeper collaboration between the design and IT development divisions.
