Sakichi Toyoda, one of the best known innovators in Japan, dedicated his entire life to social contribution through many inventions. His driving force for creativity brought Toyota into the automotive industry.
His guiding principle was 'Respect the spirit of research and creativity, and always strive to stay ahead of the times'. TTI adopted this spirit as the founding philosophy, both in education and in research.
TTI set up Innovators Plaza "t-COMPASS" in the display space of the library. "t-COMPASS" introduces the passion and challenging steps of manufacturing made by world famous inventors, by displaying panels, movies, books, historical materials and so on. TTI hopes that students will utilize "t-COMPASS" as a compass for their future.
