Throughout his time in university, Dr. Fujita was thinking how to create a society based on biotechnology that is necessary to humans. He swore to seek a way to implement biotechnology in society not as a scholar but as a businessman. While learning actual business management at the Strategy Consulting Department in Accenture Japan Ltd, he studied the concepts and perspectives of business management that is required in the future bio industry.
After that, starting with Chitose Laboratory Corp., he established numerous social problem solving biotechnology companies and grew them one by one.
He is looking for a better way to turn cutting-edge biotechnology into businesses and provide them to society, from the perspective of mankind a thousand years from now and what they think are businesses that the 21st century should be engaged in.
