Boeing has established the “Boeing Japan Research Center” in Nagoya, Japan, as its research and development base in the country.
Nagoya manufactures major components for the Boeing 787 and Boeing 777 airplanes, making Japan a significant supplier base after the United States. The research base was announced in August 2022, with a provisional office initially set up in Nagoya city.
Boeing’s research and development centers include five locations in the United States and a total of seven overseas, including Japan. In Japan, research and development work is focused on the latest digital tools, composite materials, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), hydrogen technology integration projects, and robotics for incorporation into aircraft design and manufacturing. Some of the research is conducted in collaboration with Nagoya University and Kyushu University.
The opening ceremony was attended by Hideaki Ohmura, Governor of Aichi Prefecture; Takashi Kawamura, Mayor of Nagoya; Todd Citron, Boeing’s Chief Technology Officer; Patti Chanchien, Vice President and General Manager of Research & Technology (BR&T); and Will Shaffer, President of Boeing Japan.
