Welcome to Toyota Woven City, a collaborative community driven by a shared passion to enhance well-being for all. Here, we come together to co-create, test and bring to life products and services aimed at relieving common, everyday societal challenges around the movement of people, goods, information and energy. Car brand Toyota has announced that the first phase of its Woven City in Japan, a smart city designed by architecture studio BIG as the "future of mobility", has reached completion.

Woven City features a reproduction of the Toyoda wooden hand loom originally created in 1890. It was invented by Toyota Group founder Sakichi Toyoda to make life easier for his mother, who would toil into the night weaving cloth. Toyota has opened the doors to the first phase of Woven City, its experimental town meant to act as an incubator for technologies from autonomous driving to artificial intelligence.

Woven City is a test course for mobility where "Inventors" who share a commitment to working "for someone other than themselves" can develop, test, and validate innovative products and services. These inventors include Toyota and Toyota Group companies, such as WbyT, as well as external companies, startups, and individual entrepreneurs. To mark the occasion, Toyota and WbyT hosted a launch event in Susono City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, with key stakeholders.

With residents beginning to move in and partner companies starting co-creation, Woven City takes its first steps as a real-world test course for mobility and a key driver of Toyota's transformation into a mobility company. Toyota has formally launched the first phase of its Woven City, a $10 billion "test course for mobility" built at the foot of Mt. Fuji in Susono, Shizuoka Prefecture.

The project, first introduced at CES in 2020, now moves from concept to reality with residents, innovators, and partner firms actively taking part.
