The facility combines Panasonic’s technologies, solutions, products with fundamental math and physic principles to educate youth about science. The facility has attracted 600,000 visitors to date, including nearly 400,000 students with more than 10,000 visitors a month.

“With the establishment of Risupia Vietnam, Panasonic expressed its strong commitment to develop high-quality education in Vietnam. We expect Risupia will also play an important role as a cultural and educational bridge between Vietnam and Japan. Therefore, together with experiencing science and technology at Risupia, children and their families can 'touch' the cultural aspects such as Japanese food, music, art and lifestyle here,” said Hamazaki.
