After the opening of Tokyo Tech ANNEX Bangkok in FY18 and Tokyo Tech ANNEX Aachen in FY19, the Institute opened its third overseas base for international collaboration, Tokyo Tech ANNEX Berkeley, in Berkeley, California in October. Opportunities for collaboration and the creation of joint research topics were sought through research showcases and workshops at these ANNEXes.

The opening of the third Tokyo Tech ANNEX further strengthens the Institute's international communications and enhances the global reputation of Tokyo Tech.
