In the Advanced Sciences & Technologies Division, we promote commercialization and development of applications for advanced chemical technologies. At the time, we are actively working to expand new business in growth fields. |
The Advanced Sciences and Technologies Division was established in April 2004 to commercialize cutting-edge technologies in the chemicals industry and to foster MC's involvement in growth fields. The Fine Chemicals Unit deals in pharmaceuticals, agrichemicals and fine chemicals used in the electronics industry, as well as intermediates used in each sector. The Life Science Products Unit focuses on safe and reliable sweeteners, natural flavorings and functional food ingredients geared towards health-conscious consumers. The Life Sciences Business Unit aims to create new business models related to biotechnology and life sciences, working across a wide range of business sectors, from medical diagnostics and pharmaceuticals to food products and agricultural and fishery industries. In addition, the Advanced Technologies Commercialization Unit is promoting the commercialization of new technologies, materials and services, with a strong focus on environmental fields, nano-materials, and retail related businesses.
While focusing on chemical-related market needs, we are actively looking to take on challenges in news fields that intersect with the chemical products industry by promoting the development of applications and the commercialization of new technologies as well as the incubation of new enterprises. In this way, we are implementing a growth strategy that will lead us toward a bright future. The needs of consumers are greatly changing, due in part to a growing awareness about safety, health and environmental issues. While responding to such changes, we are increasing synergies between new technologies and our existing businesses in growth fields such as biotechnology, healthcare, food science, environmental business, nanotechnology and telecommunications, which will stimulate efforts to develop products and services and to commercialize R&D projects.
