100BANCH, a future creation hub based on the concept of an 'experimental zone to enrich the world 100 years from now,' has selected three projects for its 107th GARAGE Program, which moved in during June 2026. This acceleration program provides young leaders under 35 with workspace and mentorship to support their three-month social experiments. The selected projects are 'JPYC EC,' an e-commerce platform that uses blockchain to reduce payment fees to 1%; 'Listen to the Painting,' which creates an audio space to experience paintings; and 'nonu,' which develops fragrance soaps based on herbal medicine concepts for urban living. 100BANCH was established in 2017 to commemorate Panasonic's 100th anniversary and has supported over 400 projects to date. The application deadline for the 109th cohort is June 29.
