BIOME, a biodiversity startup spun out of Kyoto University, was founded in May 2017 with the mission of making biodiversity conservation a natural part of society. The company develops and operates the wildlife collection app Biome as a data-gathering tool to build a biodiversity information platform that handles species distribution data from around the world. Data submitted through the app is utilized as foundational biodiversity information and is provided to conservation organizations, research institutions, and other stakeholders in response to their needs.

ScienceEdge is a startup developing optical measurement instruments powered by cutting-edge laser technology and advanced microscopy engineering. Our flagship product is the thermoreflectance microscope — the world’s first commercially available system of its kind. This innovative analytical microscope enables nanoscale to microscale measurement of thermal conductivity, and is attracting strong attention from researchers and engineers working to solve the growing heat challenges in AI semiconductor development. Our vision is “Trusted Microscopy. Unbridled Pioneering.” We strive to be a trusted global brand while continuously pursuing bold, unconstrained innovation.

A startup expanding from AI development into GPU cloud and energy trading. By addressing high power consumption and integrating technologies, it leverages synergies across AI, infrastructure, and energy to build a sustainable foundation for the future.

A startup that synthesizes long, complex DNA using proprietary technology, enabling the flexible design of diverse gene combinations. It also provides comprehensive support from development to manufacturing processes for viral vectors and mRNA required for gene therapy.

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.
