About the YU-FLEC

Aim of the YU-FLEC

The aim of the YU-FLEC is to contribute to participating companies via academia-industry collaboration.

For this purpose, our members, who possess substantial experience in practical development for commercial products, construct one-on-one collaboration with each participating company.

The participating companies of the YU-FLEC can utilize all of their collaborating results (data, prototype samples, etc.) for their own business activities with no special restrictions. No disclosure of information to other participating companies of the YU-FLEC is demanded, enabling participating companies to develop unique and/or original technologies through collaboration with Yamagata University.
