Iwase Cosfa and the Future of Life

At Iwase Cosfa, we strive to co-create the future of beauty and health, and for about the past 10 years, we have been inspired by activities that increase the potential for a future that employs Prof. Ishiguro’s new science and technology. To spark excitement for this vision in visitors, we are supplying an android that will be active within the pavilion.

Future technology vision

Since our inception, we have handled raw materials for cosmetics and health foods, and have devoted ourselves to supplying value through beauty and health. The advancement of technologies in the fields of beauty and health has been dizzying, and they are constantly evolving to meet diverse values. We want to use our contribution to the Expo as an opportunity to join in considering the question of how concepts concerning beauty and health will evolve with the arrival of androids, and we will also strive for this to be an opportunity for us to provide new value. Our goal is to envision the actualization of a future society in which every single person can shine, and we hope to contribute to people’s happiness.
