Towards First Physics at Belle II — •Torben Ferber for the Belle II collaboration — DESY, Hamburg, Germany

The Belle II Experiment at the Super-KEKB collider in Japan is scheduled to start data taking in the next years. This unique Super-B facility includes major upgrades of both the Belle detector and the KEKB accelerator which will be described briefly in this talk. The Belle II experiment is designed to collect a factor of 50 more data than the previous Belle experiment which will provide unprecedented sensitivity to new physics signatures. This talk will review aspects of the Belle II physics program that reach beyond B-physics including dark sector searches and electroweak precision physics. Special emphasis will be given on the physics program for the first year of data taking with modified trigger settings and a center of mass energy below the Y(4S) resonance.
