He said "The graduate students and faculty members of engineering major would take advantage of this research cooperation practically regarding the solar energy uses that would lead to a mass manufacture by modern world technologies in the future". Along with research cooperation, Tokai University presented a solar-powered car they designed, and it ranked first in many world competitions and considered one of the practical applications of energy power uses.
