The Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) promotes the Startup Ecosystem Co-Creation Program, an initiative designed to support promising research seeds with strong commercialization potential and foster the creation of university-based startups.

Within this framework, 16 institutions based in the Tokai region have been selected by JST to operate under the Tongali Platform, collaboratively managing the program. Among them, Ms. Akiyo Kato, who is supported by our company, has been selected for her project titled “Business Validation of Protein Max Technology for Ultra-Efficient Biomanufacturing.”

Through this selection, up to 60 million yen in funding will be made available to support commercialization efforts. Our company will continue to provide support toward the practical application of outstanding research and technology seeds.
