Envision the excitement of our unknown future through co-creation together with the next generation.
# 90th Anniversary Envisioning Exciting Future
# Do what others don`t dare to do
# Together we empower mobility and beyond
Since its founding in 1933, Nissan Motor Co. has continued driving innovation to enrich people’s lives while delivering exciting driving experiences and groundbreaking technology under the core principle of “Do what other's don't dare to do." Since then, nearly a century has passed, and our society's values have shifted. Today, significant value is placed in responding to environmental issues and in making efforts to foster diverse communities and cultures.
At NISSAN, we proudly embrace the slogan "Together we empower mobility and beyond" as part of Nissan Ambition 2030, our new long-term vision for empowering mobility and beyond. The DRIVE MYSELF PROJECT is a collaborative endeavor that utilizes the perspectives of society, the next generation, and mobility to envision the future and create new, unprecedented value. Through three projects within the DRIVE MYSELF PROJECT, we are challenging ourselves to envision the excitement of our unknown future through co-creation together with the next generation.

The DRIVE MYSELF PROJECT consists of three co-creation challenges taken on alongside the next generation, which are looking for unique perspectives on our society, our future, and our mobility.
This ideathon aims to design tangible and intangible mobility experiences with 22 members of the next generation who each pursue their own challenges while making use of their respective fields of expertise, from an entrepreneur solving social issues to artists, designers, and even engineers who give ideas physical shape.
In LIFESTYLE PROTOTYPING, we will combine NISSAN's perspectives and technology with SAMPO's commitment to mobility and lifestyle possibilities, presenting prototypes that will show new ways we can lead fulfilling lives.

Each young person of the next generation—not bound by existing frameworks—creates new paths by stepping beyond, breaking through, and moving forward. As these individual paths expand and intersect, they widen each person's own world. Even on yet untrodden paths, beyond these challenges lie ways where people can be true to themselves. When everyone chooses to embrace their own authentic self, a rich and exciting world can be created. With these sentiments in mind, we've designed a fresh, energetically charged green pathway extending ahead.
NISSAN supports the next generation as they embrace challenges with an adventurous spirit.
