Shiga Bank (Head Office: Otsu City, President: Shinya Kubota) announces that it has concluded a naming rights agreement with National University Corporation Shiga University (Headquarters: Hikone City, President: Akimichi Takemura).

As a result, from April 1, 2026, for five years, "Shiga University Hikone Campus School Building Lecture Room 5" will be called "Shigagin Mirai Yoshi Hall." Under its purpose of "making the region happy with 'Sanpo Yoshi' (three-way satisfaction)," the bank will continue to fulfill its role as a regional financial institution and promote initiatives to improve the future of Shiga through the circulation of "knowledge," "people," and "aspirations," in collaboration with industry, academia, and the community.

Thoughts behind the Naming ― A place where knowledge circulates and the future begins to move ― The name "Shigagin Mirai Yoshi Hall" embodies the wish that the "learning" and "discoveries" born here will circulate from person to person, from region to society, and become a force that moves the future. Shiga University has played a role in circulating knowledge to society through "inheritance of knowledge," "pioneering of knowledge," and "return of knowledge," expanding its reach globally. Meanwhile, Shiga Bank has also valued the circulation of value within the community. Not just money, but encounters between people, aspirations to challenge, and moments when efforts bear fruit. We believe that the future grows as these circulate in the community. That is why we have put the wish that "this lecture room should be a place where knowledge circulates and the future begins to move" into its name.
