We-be Lab Inc.

We-be Lab Inc. (株式会社We-be Lab) is a Japanese company based in Kyoto that describes itself as a research institute dedicated to improving human well-being. The company's name encodes its mission: "We-be" stands for well-being, and "Lab" for laboratory, while also suggesting the phrase "We be your laboratory" — a promise to work alongside people who are struggling with well-being and need help finding solutions. Its stated mission is to use the power of research to create and support high well-being lives for people around the world, and its vision is to become a laboratory that co-searches for solutions with those who need assistance. The company organizes its work around two main pillars: a laboratory function that conducts research activities to improve well-being, and a consultant function that provides advice and optimal content or solutions to people seeking to improve their well-being. Its guiding policy emphasizes being scientifically grounded, not neglecting education, analyzing current conditions and data, being need-based, fostering sympathy through tools that deepen understanding, and spreading the knowledge gained through research. We-be Lab develops and offers assessment tools and content related to well-being and quality of life. Its trademarked instruments include ICR-EC®, an assessment tool for understanding educational needs in infancy and early childhood; SRQOL-22®, a scale for measuring quality of life in children's school life; and S-QWL®, a scale for grasping quality of life in the workplace. It has also released a mobile application called CRAYON BOOK on the App Store. The company maintains a mascot robot named "We-be Robo" (ウィービーロボ), sometimes called "We-be," which is depicted wearing a bow tie given by its developer and is said to keep thinking about what human well-being means. According to its official news timeline, the company's website opened in June 2024 and it celebrated its first anniversary in June 2025 and its second anniversary in June 2026. It has declared participation in the SECURITY ACTION two-star program, made a "Health Management Declaration" (健康事業所宣言) in Kyoto, and had a manufacturing subsidy application accepted under the 22nd round of the Monozukuri Subsidy. It also operates an official Instagram account, @webelab_gohan, which shares glimpses of daily office meals. The company is small and privately held, with no public listing or disclosed parent company.
