EX-Fusion is Japan’s only private company dedicated to the commercialization of laser fusion reactors. This breakthrough technology has the potential to replace conventional energy sources and play a vital role in achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
A startup has developed a painless, simple test using tears to detect cancer early and monitor for recurrence. Using cutting-edge technology originating from Kobe University, it enables highly sensitive detection of extracellular vesicles, allowing testing in everyday settings like homes or pharmacies.
Using catalysts, this startup decomposes mixed, multilayer, and contaminated waste plastics and organic waste at 200–300°C, converting them into monomers, hydrogen, alcohols, and other substances. It achieves resource circulation and waste reduction.
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.
A drug discovery venture tackling next-generation cancer treatment using marine-derived compounds that improve tumor hypoxia while minimizing side effects. Already commercialized as veterinary medicine, it supports the lives of both humans and pets.
