We are pleased to announce that NanoFrontier Inc. (hereinafter “the Company”) has been selected to participate in the main program, “DATERISE! PITCH CONTEST,” at Sendai City’s first global startup event “DATERISE! 2025,” to be held on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at The Westin Sendai and Urbanet Sendai Chuo Building YUINOS.
This contest is a global pitch event in which only 11 startups—selected through a rigorous screening process from among 27 applicants aiming for overseas expansion from Tohoku—are invited to present. Leveraging our unique reprecipitation method, developed and refined at Tohoku University for over 30 years, we will challenge the global market with multi‑field solutions using nanoparticles.
Objectives of Participation
-
Showcase Technology for Solving Social Challenges Our reprecipitation method can be applied across energy, environment, and healthcare fields, including pollutant detection, cost reduction in batteries with next‑generation electrolytes, high thermal‑conductivity coolants, hydrogen carriers, and carrier‑free pharmaceuticals. Through this pitch, we aim to share our technology, which contributes to solving global challenges.
-
Expand Network for Overseas Expansion The winning company will receive benefits to support overseas expansion, and special awards from sponsoring companies will also be granted. We will take this opportunity to accelerate collaborations with global partners and investors.
-
