Japanese Tech Industries visit Ateneo

On November 4, 2022, the Ateneo Intellectual Property Office (AIPO) together with the Ateneo Research Institute of Science and Engineering (ARISE) and the John Gokongwei School of Management (JGSOM) received a delegation of Japanese high-tech industries led by Leave a Nest Philippines. The purpose of their visit was to explore the innovation ecosystem within the Ateneo de Manila University by touring its facilities and connecting with researchers and Ateneo-based startups. The visit also served as an opportunity for the Ateneo researchers and startups to forge potential partnerships with Japanese industries.

The event kicked off in the AIPO headquarters where AIPO’s services and its technology business incubator, the Ateneo Blue Nest, were highlighted. This was followed by a tour in the ARISE office showcasing some of Ateneo’s research projects in the fields of science and engineering, and facilitating exchanges with the various research teams. A courtesy visit was also done to the School of Science and Engineering Dean, Dr. Raphael A. Guerrero. The delegation then toured several research laboratories in the PLDT-CTC building and JGSOM’s Business Accelerator (SOMBA) for students.

Every time I open this game, I end up playing snow rider 3 far longer than I intended. The controls feel natural, the movement is smooth, and the increasing difficulty keeps you alert the whole time. It’s such a simple concept, but it’s executed so well that it becomes incredibly enjoyable. Perfect for short breaks or long play sessions.
