“We want to contribute to raising the level of all industries related to bio-production by advancing technological innovation utilizing biotechnology and digital technology.”
A bio-production management system is being developed with AI that exceeds human abilities in understanding complex cause-and-effect relationships that , based on a totally new productivity indicator using data resulting from various sensors and mutual relations with well-skilled cultivation technology. Leading the construction of a global information base is essential for developing the system to be the backbone of the bioeconomy market.

CHITOSE LABORATORY Algae Utilization Division, General Manager The mass cultivation technology of microorganism rapidly developed in the 1970’s, but the progress has now plateau . Material production process utilizing organisms are so complexed, that we say “a craftsman’s (professional) skill” is necessary. We are promoting a project that advances the microorganism cultivation technology in order to solve the following issues, “1.The shortage of data that could describe the state of the cultivation” and “2.The lack of ability to interpret the data.”, which are the challenges that are out of our control which prevents us from realizing bio-production management. “Fermentation technology is a speciality of Japan”, however now, microorganism cultivation technology, as Japan’s starting point, must go forward to a new order again and thinking that would lead to raising the level of all industries related to any bio-production.
