The mark: unending intergenerational talk

An infinity loop woven with circuit lines is not only technology in motion — it is a bond that does not break. The globe grid is our wish to answer ageing across borders.

IGIA refuses the contest that ends when the prizes are given. We incubate through the year. The platform has been in operation since 1 August 2026.

樂圖 Proto プロトTechnology that brings warmth

Proto stands for the meeting of technology and empathy in the contest. Through it we want to show how technology can carry warmth and care into older people’s lives, and sketch a blueprint for a joyful later life.
