Bringing the benefits of digital to everyone.
Maximizing each person’s potential wherever they are.
IPA works on digitalization that aims to bring about such a new society.
Simply put, the IPA wants to create a society where everyone can learn, play, work, and live wherever they choose to.
Deeply rooted in the local community, we build a way of life unique to each place.
We spread our wings freely to the world, engaging with diverse cultures and values.
We envision a future where these seemingly opposing ways of living can coexist naturally.
The pavilion that embodies IPA’s vision for the future—“Live Anywhere / Star Island Summer Festival”— will be unveiled for the first time at the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan in the summer.
The scene: a summer festival on a secluded island.
Amid vibrant, enigmatic food stalls, at the center of the festivities, stands a small schoolhouse.
In the classroom, a fusion of music, space, and imagery conjures a glimpse into the future of learning.
Why not try and live LIFE 2050 with us awhile?
