The design luminosity of SuperKEKB is 8×1035 cm−2s−1, which is about 40 times higher than that of KEKB. Commissioning of the main ring of SuperKEKB has started in February 2016 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. 000000572 8560_ $$fdoris.yangsoo.kim@desy.de 000000572 8564_ $$uhttps://docs.belle2.org/record/572/files/BELLE2-TALK-CONF-2017-049.pdf
