IDDK, which develops closed-loop aquaculture system ARK and space bio-experiment service, will participate in the Ad Venture Forum!

REVANES Corporation will hold a career forum for R&D ventures on April 20, 2024, for young researchers, including masters and doctoral students studying at universities and graduate schools, to recruit human resources. ARK Corporation, a closed-circulation land-based aquaculture system company, and IDDK Corporation, a space bio-experiment service provider, have been selected to participate in this forum.

ARK Co., Ltd. has developed a small closed-circulation aquaculture system that realizes "a system that allows anyone to farm aquaculture anywhere.A venture company that aims to create a new "fishing industry" that does not use the sea by means of a land-based aquaculture system.The company has succeeded in developing a container-type aquaculture unit that can be reproduced by anyone with the space of a car. While land-based aquaculture is difficult without specialized knowledge, the company has succeeded in developing a container-type aquaculture unit that allows anyone with a space equivalent to that of a car to farm fish with high reproducibility. The company has successfully developed a container-type aquaculture unit that can be used in restaurants, manufacturing plants, and other facilities.Involving industries that have not been involved in the fisheries industry up to this point, we are working to create a decentralized production and consumption system.We are taking on the challenge. We are looking for people who are passionate about adding new concepts to the fishing industry, which has supported the food supply of humankind, and who are willing to take on the challenge of solving food problems.

IDDK Corporation has developed an innovative microscopic observation technology, MID (Micro Imaging Device), which is completely different from conventional microscopes that use lenses, by combining optical and semiconductor technologies. In March 2024, IDDK raised 80 million yen in pre-series A second close (total amount raised in pre-series A: 320 million yen). 220 million yen (including the issuance of J-KISS type stock acquisition rights)) and announced that it aims to develop new customers and expand the market for new space applications, mainly bio-experiments in space, by establishing Japan's first private-sector-led low Earth orbit space bio-experiment platform.

Venture companies that create new industries and change conventional concepts require not only the development of solutions, but also a wide variety of "research and development" in areas such as education and human resource development. Those who wish to take on the challenge of world-changing R&D are invited to participate in the Adventure Forum.
