Selection of target companies for “Green Startup Support” in FY4
The Tokyo Consortium is working to promote the formation of a startup ecosystem and promote the creation and growth of startups through industry, academia, and government, and this year we are promoting a new initiative called "Green Startup Support."
1. Overview of green startup support
Green startup support is a unique initiative of the Tokyo Consortium that selects and intensively supports startups in green fields that are expected to grow rapidly in the future, thereby boosting their growth.
The selected companies will be supported not only domestically but also overseas by a diverse group of members, including venture capital and institutional investors, senior startups, and other startups leveraging the Tokyo Consortium's network. To go.

Company (Startup)
Business Summary
-
[Development, manufacturing, sales, etc. of microwave wireless power transfer (WPT) equipment]
- Converting edge devices in increasingly automated factories to WPT, which requires no wiring or batteries, improves productivity by solving problems such as disconnections, and reduces environmental impact.
・By using WPT for environmental sensors in office spaces, information about people's surroundings and inside their bodies can be acquired accurately and instantly, optimizing the environment and reducing CO2 emissions.
・ Reduce the burden on patients by converting pacemakers and other implant devices into WPT, and treat and prevent diseases that are difficult to resolve with drugs.

[Research and development, sales, etc. of on-site ammonia supply system]
・ Ammonia is a resource used in agricultural fertilizers, hydrogen energy carriers, etc. Conventional technology requires intensive production in large quantities at high temperatures and pressures using fossil fuels, which poses problems such as CO2 emissions and transportation and storage costs. Established technology for "on-site production (producing the required amount of ammonia at the required location)" using low-temperature, low-pressure ammonia synthesis.
- Contribute to reducing transportation and storage costs, reducing environmental impact, utilizing hydrogen, and utilizing renewable energy that cannot be fully utilized due to lack of power transmission lines, etc.

[Development of batteries that utilize plant-derived carbon]
・Since it is a carbon battery that does not require rare metals such as nickel, manganese, and cobalt, it does not impose the environmental burden of drilling and contributes to CO2 reduction, making sustainable development possible.
・Compared to regular lithium-ion batteries that use rare metals and are difficult to recycle, the carbon used is recyclable, uses materials with low environmental impact, is easy to dispose of, is safe and secure with no risk of ignition, and has five times the performance. Faster charging speed and 5x longer lifespan

[Design of fusion reactor, development and provision of elemental technology, etc.]
- Nuclear fusion reduces the consumption of valuable underground resources such as oil and natural gas, produces energy without emitting carbon dioxide or high-level radioactive waste, and is not affected by weather or global climate change. available
・We will develop the world's first steady-state fusion reactor using a magnetic field confinement method that incorporates our own cutting-edge technology, and work toward the early realization of fusion energy.
