Tokyo, Japan – Nokia today announced it will donate WOSH, an AI enabled portable hand washing stand that reuses more than 98% of the water it consumes to Aoyama Gakuin University, one of Japan’s oldest private universities with a history of more than 140 years. Aoyama Gakuin University is actively promoting various activities to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) based on the university’s philosophy, through industry-academia collaboration and other means.
The deployment of WOSH will occur in two phases at Aoyama Gakuin University. Initially, it will be installed in the student lounge on the Aoyama campus to promote awareness of CSR among students. Subsequently, at the Sagamihara campus, students will gain practical experience with water reuse technology, enriching both their theoretical understanding and ability to apply these concepts in practical settings will be considered.
Tetsuo Kamoshita, Japan Country Manager at Nokia, said: “As a proud alumnus of Aoyama Gakuin University, I am excited to support this ESG initiative through industry-academia collaboration. Working with Aoyama Gakuin University, we are laying the groundwork for a future that values sustainability, innovation, and education. Students are the pioneers of the future, and we are delighted to providing them with the tools to build a brighter, more sustainable world.”
Inazumi Hiroshige, President at Aoyama Gakuin University, said: “Aoyama Gakuin University promotes social contribution activities in cooperation with local governments and companies, guided by the spirit of our school motto: ‘The salt of the earth, the light of the world.’ We hope that the donation of the water reuse system, ‘WOSH,’ will raise awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) among our students and provide them with an opportunity to learn about water reuse technology using AI. We are delighted to collaborate with Nokia Japan, represented by one of our graduate students through industry-university partnerships. Moving forward, we will continue to work with companies and local governments on various initiatives, leveraging each other’s resources for education and community revitalization.”
