WHILL Showcases Innovative Mobility Solutions at the Nenrinpic Tokyo Experience Event

On July 8, 2026, WHILL Inc. took part in the advanced technology experience event titled "Nenrin x Technology" following the first preparatory committee for the 39th National Health and Welfare Festival (affectionately called the Nenrinpic Chōju Tokyo 2028). This gathering was aimed at engaging with advanced technology in anticipation of the upcoming event, which is scheduled to take place in Tokyo in November 2028.

WHILL presented its flagship mobility model, the WHILL Model C2, which is designed for easy operation without the need for a driver’s license. At the event, committee members were given the opportunity to ride the vehicle, demonstrating its intuitive controls, tight turning radius enabled by omni-wheels, and overall stable performance. WHILL aims to empower seniors by providing practical solutions to enhance their daily mobility and outings.

The fundamental concept of the Nenrinpic Tokyo 2028 emphasizes leveraging Tokyo's strengths to create a city where everyone can shine and a society renowned for longevity (Chōju). One of the key objectives of the event is to enable participants to experience the potential of digital and advanced technologies that enhance Quality of Life (QOL) and well-being. WHILL's involvement in this initiative aligns with the festival's goal to integrate innovative technologies that improve the quality of life for the elderly and individuals of all ages.

WHILL has been at the forefront of mobility technology, offering services in various settings such as commercial facilities, airports, touristic sites, and community transport services. The company also focuses on mobility solutions for the elderly through home care rentals and IoT applications that keep families informed about their loved ones’ mobility status and histories. By showcasing WHILL products, the aim is to promote social inclusion and accessibility, especially for diverse user groups, including seniors.

In supporting individuals with autonomous mobility, WHILL stands committed to continuing its efforts toward creating a society where everyone can safely and freely engage in activities that reflect their individuality.
