Recently, microalgae that can be used in a wide range of industries such as fossil fuel alternative (biofuel), plastic alternative (biodegradable materials), food industry (alternative proteins) and health (functional materials) have been attracting attention. We have a patented technology for a culture method that enhances microalgal function. We are also working with partner companies who are interested in the development of algal applications to address SDGs. Last November 2019, we have raised 400M JPY as our Series A Round.
