Biotech Grand Prix / BIO TECH

The Biotech Grand Prix is an area where technologies to "transform the unlimited potential of living creatures into value" are gathered. As human activities cover the globe, we need to increase the power of living organisms and utilize them more effectively in order to sustain our society. Proteins, sugars, lipids, and countless other molecules produced by living organisms have the potential to be utilized as functional materials, medicines, catalysts, energy resources, and more. In order to extract such potential and link them to industry, it is necessary to overcome the barriers of stable performance, mass production, and low cost, and to make them into products and services that provide value to society.
In this area, we aim to create the foundation for the next society through the establishment of technologies and businesses to maximize the properties of living organisms.
