  True Carbon BECCS

  After finding out one of the biggest problems with BECCS is the lack of real-time data biomass data, as well as the poor supply chain visibility and weak MRV systems, why come up with TRUE CARBON BECCS (TCB), which is a cloud-based AI integrated system that tracks and provides biomass information accurately and optimizes BECCS. The system has 3 modules: a smart pre-dryer that lowers moisture and records carbon savings, a sourcing platform that provides important information about biomass batches to the user, and an AI engine (machine learning) that helps to predict, detect errors and improve the system continuously.

  AI-Driven Personalized Dialogue for Dementia Care

  We are developing an AI-powered system that interprets the intentions of people living with dementia and supports clearer, more compassionate communication with families and caregivers. The project began with the founder’s experience of his grandfather’s dementia, which revealed how deeply communication loss impacts daily life for both patients and loved ones. Since then, our team has visited senior care facilities across Japan and abroad, conducting extensive interviews to understand real needs and challenges firsthand. Our vision is to create a world where no one forgets their loved ones, and meaningful connection is always preserved.
