Greetings from the Chairman of GTB Council
Prior to the meeting, a guided tour of the Mitsui Link-Lab Shinkiba 2 facility was organized thanks to the generous support of LINK-J and Mitsui Fudosan. The tour, attended by 76 participants, provided a valuable opportunity to gain a firsthand understanding of the wet lab environment, helping attendees form a clearer image of the infrastructure that supports biotech innovation.

The event proved even more vibrant than the meeting itself, as participants actively exchanged information across different GTB hubs and continued discussions sparked during the formal sessions. The atmosphere was filled with energy and enthusiasm, and the gathering served as a meaningful opportunity for strengthening connections among members. Collaboration within the community is clearly deepening, and the event highlighted the growing momentum of GTB's network.
