Hokkaido's importance to Japan's food production goes without saying, as it ranks first in the nation in terms of calorie-based food self-sufficiency and fourth in terms of production value-based food self-sufficiency.
Muroran Institute of Technology is also collaborating with companies to conduct research into robotic cultivation techniques, automated control techniques for greenhouse cultivation using AI (artificial intelligence), and ways to enhance the functionality of food.

From the time when people looked up at the sky and imagined the universe, we have now evolved into an era where satellites are deployed in space and bring various information to Earth.
Muroran Institute of Technology conducts research that supports people's lives, such as research and development of aerospace engines and designing cities and transportation using a variety of big data.

Muroran City, known as a "town of manufacturing," is home to many steel, shipbuilding, machinery, and other manufacturing manufacturers and is one of the most important manufacturing bases in Hokkaido.
Muroran Institute of Technology is working with various manufacturers to develop new materials and products that will support Japan in the 21st century, as well as to develop energy-saving technologies and build systems, an area that is expected to see increasing demand in the future.

In Japan, known as a country prone to earthquakes, disaster prevention efforts are a very important issue.
Muroran Institute of Technology is conducting research in various fields of disaster prevention, including establishing earthquake-proofing technologies for buildings, using AI to provide relief in disaster-stricken areas, investigating the foundations of earthquakes and establishing reconstruction models.
