We report the superconductivity with the onset temperature as high as 8 K in the organic conductor of β-(BEDT–TTF)2I3, bis-ethylenedithio otetrathiofulvalenetriiodide. The increased superconducting transition temperature was achieved by an application of a soft pressure, i.e. 1.3 kb. High value of the upper critical field, Hc2 was observed. (Hc2>13 kOe at 1.5 K along the c*-axis.)
