Abstract	The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB collider in Tsukuba, Japan, is a next generation flavour factory that will search for New Physics in the flavour sector at the precision frontier. The physics program provides simultaneous studies of a wide range of areas in $b$ -quark, $c$ -quark, $τ$ -lepton, two-photon, quarkonium and exotic physics. The physics data taking will start in the year 2018 and we aim at accumulating 50 ab $^{- 1}$ of $e^{+} e^{-}$ collision data, about 50 times the data set of the previous Belle experiment. In this article, we review the current state of Belle II construction and describe the main physics opportunities at this future facility.
