The design luminosity of SuperKEKB is $8\times 10^{35}$~cm$^{-2}$\,s$^{-1}$, which is about 40 times higher than that of KEKB. Commissioning of the main ring of SuperKEKB has started in February of this year and Belle~II is expected to accumulate an integrated luminosity of 50~ab$^{-1}$ well within the next decade. The experiment will focus on searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model via high precision measurements of heavy flavor and searches for rare signals. To reach these goals, the accelerator, detector, electronics, software, and computing systems are all being substantially upgraded. In this talk we present the status of the accelerator and of the different Belle II sub-detector upgrades. 000000398 8560_ $$fdoris.yangsoo.kim@desy.de 000000398 8564_ $$uhttps://docs.belle2.org/record/398/files/BELLE2-TALK-CONF-2016-020.pdf
