As a venture spun off from University of Hyogo, YSH Research Institute Co., Ltd. leverages proprietary cavitation plasma technology as its foundation to develop, manufacture, and sell safe water and generation devices as alternatives to chemical pesticides. This technology produces activated water that supports next-generation sustainable agriculture by contributing to crop disease control and cultivation support. It also advances applications in medical and public health fields, delivering innovative solutions through proprietary technology.
LEP is a startup from Osaka University developing glowing plants. Leveraging its proprietary bioluminescent protein technology, LEP has successfully created plants that emit light without using electricity, with the capability to produce multi-color luminescence across a wide range of plant species. LEP aims to combine ornamental value with reduced environmental impact cutting CO₂ emissions.
CONNEXX SYSTEMS was established with the mission of contributing to the creation of a sustainable and resilient society by promoting energy self-sufficiency in countries and regions around the world through innovative battery technologies. Currently, the company develops and deploys energy storage systems (ESS) based on lithium-ion batteries, while also engaging in the development and demonstration of EnePOND®, an energy storage system that reuses second-life EV batteries utilizing proprietary technologies, as well as SHUTTLE Battery™, an ultra-high-energy-density innovative battery based on iron redox reactions.
QioN is developing breakthrough technology to produce ammonia—used as fertilizer and clean fuel—anywhere and at low cost. Their proprietary process uses renewable energy and locally available raw materials to generate ammonia with greater energy efficiency than conventional methods. It also enables small-scale production potentially at less than half the cost. The company aims to capture 15% of the global ammonia market (over 1.5 million tons/year) and contribute to reducing both CO2 emissions and geopolitical risk associated with the supply.
This venture company originated from the Electrochemistry Laboratory of Kansai University and provides innovative lithium-ion batteries and technologies with the vision of "making the world sustainable with storage battery technology". Ionic liquid lithium-ion batteries, which use non-flammable ionic liquids as electrolytes, are also used in space applications as highly reliable storage batteries that do not pose a risk of ignition. We will develop and provide water-based cathode manufacturing technology that can reduce costs and environmental impact at the same time to existing lithium-ion battery production lines.
