　In January 2019, Yokohama City declared the "Innovation City Yokohama" that will create new innovations from Yokohama.
　To date, various private companies and universities have formed opportunities for exchange of innovation human resources, including the newly established R&D bases in the Minato Mirai 21 district.
　In the future, in order to further recognize this initiative and make it a big movement, we have decided on the logo mark YOXO, a symbol of "Innovation City Yokohama". Using the logo mark as a symbol, we create an environment where companies, organizations and individuals can connect and create new businesses.
