Frequently asked questions
What types of companies occupy SIC facilities?
The center targets startups and small-to-medium enterprises across applied industrial and deep-tech sectors. Its dedicated labs serve surface-technology materials science, robotics and automation, and space-component supply chains. Resident profiles published in SIC's monthly newsletters include food-tech research firms, packaging-engineering companies, and career-placement platforms — all with a tilt toward Kanagawa's manufacturing ecosystem.
How does SIC source its tenant pipeline?
SIC uses a multi-channel funnel anchored by Desk10, a membership-based co-working space that captures pre-incorporation and early-revenue founders. Formal R&D partnerships with prefectural agencies — notably the Kanagawa Space Village cluster and the Robot Introduction Support Center — channel later-stage industrial companies toward dedicated lab facilities. Student-industry matching through the Saganet Navi platform feeds an early-talent pipeline.
What is the relationship between SIC and Kanagawa Prefecture?
SIC acts as a contracted operating partner for several prefectural economic-development initiatives. It was awarded the Kanagawa Prefecture 'Fiscal Year 8 Space-Related Enterprise Exchange Hub Project' contract, placing it as the operational lead for the KANAGAWA Space Village cluster. Its children's entrepreneurship program operates under a local executive committee, and multiple grant programs flow through prefectural budgets rather than through an independent SIC fund structure.
