What happened
Molten announced on Aug. 18, 2026, that it will hold ‘ROX 2026’ on Sept. 4-5. The number of participating partners has grown to 10, and teams from 12 schools will take part. Companies and students will compete in teams of four. The winning team will receive a ¥200,000 prize. The venue is Molten Technical Center molten [the Box] in Nishi Ward, Hiroshima.
Why it matters
As regional manufacturers face growing difficulty securing hardware engineers, the event brings students and companies together in teams of four, giving students a chance to exchange technical skills and ideas in a setting close to real-world work. Molten also said the number of participating partners has grown to 10, positioning the event as a framework for regional companies to collaborate on talent development.
