Outline of the IdcN

Our firm, the largest integrated design center in Japan, opened in Sakae, the heart of the shopping district in Nagoya, in November of 1996. The IdcN, while being closely integrated with the local community, also opens its doors to the global community as well. Through our highly equipped facilities and our global information exchange network, we conduct a wide variety of activities ranging from communication exchanges, to research and development seminars, to designer and design business venture training workshops, to planning and production sessions.
