Web siteStartupsInnoJin, Inc.Japan/TokyoThere are approximately 210,000 pediatric patients with amblyopia in Japan, and the social loss is estimated to be around 2.2 trillion yen. Treatment typically involves the constant use of corrective glasses, along with amblyopia training using eye patching to occlude the sound eye. However, this treatment can be psychologically and physically burdensome, and patients often discontinue the treatment based on their own judgment, leading to reduced effectiveness. Therefore, there is a need for a new amblyopia training method that is less psychologically and physically burdensome, while still providing high treatment efficacy.
To overcome the challenges mentioned above, our company has developed a new amblyopia training method using VR games. This product allows occlusion of the sound eye in a VR space by selectively altering part of the image from one eye in the VR environment. By incorporating gamification to reduce dropout rates, easing the burden on caregivers, and customizing treatment durations for each individual, this method can reduce psychological and physical burdens on children with amblyopia and enable treatment in a shorter period of time compared to traditional methods.C-624

Web siteStartupsLOGISTICALJapan/TokyoJapan’s logistics industry is facing a crisis. Due to the new labor regulations introduced under the “2024 Problem,” truck drivers are now limited to 960 hours of overtime per year. This is expected to result in a shortage of over 240,000 drivers by 2027. At the same time, more than 60% of trucks in Japan run empty on return trips, and truckload efficiency remains below 40%. These issues are compounded by a rise in e-commerce and fragmented B2B delivery networks, making traditional logistics models unsustainable.
LOGISTICAL is building the future of joint delivery. We are an AI-driven platform that matches multiple B2B shipments into one truckload based on destination, timing, and volume. Instead of paying for a full truck, businesses pay only for the space they actually use. This model helps increase vehicle efficiency, reduce delivery costs, and lower the number of trips required—addressing both the labor shortage and environmental concerns.
What makes LOGISTICAL unique is our approach to integration and automation. We’re not just building a platform; we offer companies the ability to incorporate our AI technology directly into their existing operations. Our system uses AI agents to support delivery planning, automate order aggregation, and calculate optimal routes in real-time. Whether companies are running their own trucks or working with third-party logistics providers, our flexible system can be embedded to upgrade their operations without needing to overhaul everything.
Our tech stack includes route optimization algorithms, shipment matching engines, and AI agents that learn from delivery patterns to constantly improve performance. We also utilize cloud infrastructure to ensure scalability and real-time data handling. For companies without digital systems in place, we offer a lightweight interface to get started quickly and begin seeing efficiency gains from day one.
At LOGISTICAL, our goal is to eliminate waste in logistics by connecting the right shippers, at the right time, with the right delivery resources. We’re building a smarter, more collaborative logistics network for Japan—powered by data, AI, and a mission to solve one of the country's biggest industry challenges.

- Web siteStartupsSenaraGermany/FreiburgSenara is developing cell-cultivated milk—a sustainable, biomimetic alternative to traditional dairy—designed to meet the unique demands of rapidly growing urban cities. Our approach doesn’t aim to replace milk but to complement and preserve dairy traditions in a way that’s ethical, resource-efficient, and adaptable to urban constraints.Urban areas face challenges like limited farmland, high emissions, and complex cold chain logistics. Senara’s production method bypasses the need for large-scale livestock operations by cultivating real milk from mammary cells in controlled environments. This allows cities to localize dairy production, reduce dependency on rural supply chains, and ensure food security while dramatically cutting emissions and land use. Our cell-cultivated milk is produced without antibiotics or hormones and designed to match the full composition of traditional milk—ideal for direct consumption or use in culinary applications, from baking to artisan cheese.For Japan, Senara offers powerful synergies. Japan’s dense urban population, aging workforce, limited arable land, and rising food self-sufficiency concerns make it an ideal partner for our localized, high-tech dairy production. Our technology can help rejuvenate interest in traditional Japanese dairy craftsmanship—like Hokkaido cheeses or milk-based confections—by offering a consistent, local source of high-quality milk ingredients. Additionally, Japan’s leadership in bioprocessing, robotics, and clean manufacturing aligns with our roadmap toward precision dairy at scale.Through collaboration with Japanese food producers, researchers, and urban planners, Senara can bring a scalable, culturally respectful, and sustainable milk solution to the heart of Japanese cities. We aim not just to supply milk—but to build the next-generation dairy ecosystem that honors heritage while preparing for a resilient urban future.

Web siteStartupsOOKUMA DIAMOND DEVICE Co., Ltd.Japan/HookaidoOokuma Diamond Device Co., Ltd. was founded in 2022 as a spin‑off from Hokkaido University and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). From day one, the company has focused on leveraging synthetic diamond—cultivated from methane gas—and the hard‑won expertise gained during Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station decommissioning research. By applying this know‑how in radiation‑ and heat‑intense environments, Ookuma has embarked on developing diamond semiconductors, widely hailed as the “ultimate” semiconductors.
Diamond semiconductors surpass conventional materials such as silicon and gallium nitride across multiple dimensions. Their extraordinary thermal conductivity enables rapid heat dissipation under high‑power operation; their superior high‑frequency performance makes them ideal for next‑generation signal amplification; and their intrinsic resistance to ionizing radiation and elevated temperatures ensures reliable operation in environments that would disable traditional devices. These capabilities unlock new possibilities for critical signal processing in satellite communications, autonomous vehicle systems, industrial sensors, and other applications exposed to severe thermal and electromagnetic stress.
Over the past decade, Ookuma has collaborated closely with AIST, the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), and the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) through a series of national R&D projects. This ten‑year program delivered breakthrough improvements in device yield—achieving manufacturing efficiencies previously thought unattainable for diamond‑based electronics—and established a vertically integrated development pipeline spanning substrate design, wafer fabrication, and amplifier assembly.
Today, the company conducts rigorous performance evaluations of its diamond‑semiconductor amplifiers under simulated nuclear‑accident conditions, including elevated radiation doses and temperatures. These tests are a critical step toward certifying the technology for deployment in post‑accident monitoring systems, where long‑term stability and precise measurement of neutron flux and gamma radiation are paramount. Beyond nuclear safety, Ookuma is already exploring applications in aerospace, defense electronics, and beyond‑5G communications infrastructure—markets where absolute reliability under duress is non‑negotiable.
The company’s name honors Okuma Town in Fukushima Prefecture’s Futaba District, reflecting a deep commitment to regional revitalization and transforming a site of past adversity into a cradle of innovation. Recognized by multiple government grants and strategic partnerships, Ookuma Diamond Device will break ground on the world’s first dedicated diamond‑semiconductor fabrication facility in early 2025 and aims to commence full‑scale production by the end of 2026. Through this landmark factory, Ookuma will bring the “ultimate” semiconductor technology from concept to reality—reshaping the frontiers of safe, high‑performance electronics. - HokkaidoPavilion
