Knowledge Capital, the facility to create new values by fusing various “knowledges”, will open in spring 2013 as the core facility of “Grand Front Osaka” of Umekita Phase 1 Development Area Project. Knowledge Capital Trial 2011 intended visitors to experience, join and feel Knowledge Capital prior to its opening.
The trial events have been held since 2009, and this year as the third time was the last trial. Trial 2011 previewed “The Lab.”, “Salon” and “Theater”, which will be directly managed by Knowledge Capital Management Corporation (KMO) after opening of those facilities. The event was highly successful, attracting about 12,000 visitors for the three days.
