The grant, totaling JPY 48,798,466, will support the "Demonstration Project for a Next-Generation Cybernics Treatment Center Combining Wearable Cyborg HAL, Neuroregenerative Medicine, and Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation.” This initiative, in collaboration with UNBROKEN, the largest medical institution in Lviv, Ukraine, aims to establish an advanced integrated treatment center, contributing to the social reintegration of war-affected individuals and medical infrastructure restoration.

This strategic partnership underscores Cyberdyne's commitment to humanitarian efforts and the global application of its Cybernics technology.

This program, which falls under the FY2024 Supplementary Budget "Future-Oriented Co-Creation with the Global South" initiative, aims to support the rebuilding of destroyed infrastructure and energy supply stabilization in Ukraine and surrounding nations. Cyberdyne's involvement highlights its role in fostering innovative technologies and human resources to address critical societal issues, promoting a virtuous cycle of innovation.
