This tower-type concentrating solar system with a rotating tracking function can be installed on south-facing walls, verandas, or balconies, and can be safely and easily constructed and maintained, making it suitable for use in apartment complexes and other multi-family housing where rooftops are not readily accessible. Its greatest features are its cylindrical solar concentrator equipped with a group of rotating mirrors totalling approximately 1 square meter, and its versatility in switching between heat and power sources. Its use-switching function also makes it suitable for preparing for natural disasters.
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.
A startup manufacturing high-quality GeO2 substrates for next-generation power semiconductors that reduce power loss using proprietary technology. It provides stable supply of materials that were previously difficult to obtain, supporting efficient power conversion for realizing GX.
As a startup company originating from the University of Hyogo, we are developing perovskite solar cells that could serve as core power sources, leveraging features such as the use of indium-free glass substrates (FTO), high durability, and manufacturing methods using printing technology entirely in atmospheric conditions.
A Kobe University-spinoff startup that creates useful chemicals—such as pharmaceutical and agricultural chemical raw materials and intermediates—by utilizing biogas (methane) derived from sewage, livestock manure, and food waste; chlorine produced by seawater electrolysis; and oxygen in the air for photoreactions.
