AWRD: Diversify. Collaborate. Create.
AWRD (‘award’) is an entry-focused platform operated by Loftwork Inc which is creative company.
With locations in Tokyo, Kyoto, Hida, Nagoya, Taiwan, and other locations around the world, we tap into a wide range of perspectives via FabCafe, a digital creation café, as well as MTRL, Hidakuma, Layout, BioClub, and crQlr to tackle challenges faced by businesses.
Why is it crucial to “diversify, collaborate, and create?”
As a constantly changing society, we face many challenges and topics such as the pandemic, technology’s progress, and diversifying values. AWRD tackles these topics, tapping a global creator network via channels such as awards and hackathons to help create new value and solve challenges.
AWRD is an open space for finding solutions.
