Presentations

“Business Vision of Space Seed Holdings”
Speaker: Kengo Suzuki (CEO, Space Seed Holdings Inc.)
　Mr. Suzuki presented an overview of the company, established in 2024 as a space-related startup. He introduced a wide range of projects, including the development of closed-loop ecological systems using microbes and plants, modernization of fermentation industries, bio-education initiatives for space, and challenges in competitions such as the XPRIZE.

“Regenesome’s Approach to Longevity and Aging Control Technologies”
Speaker: Zentaro Sakuma (CEO, Regenesome Inc.)
Mr. Sakuma introduced Regenesome, a biotech startup launched from the University of Tokyo in 2024. He discussed their development of supplements, cosmetics, and functional foods using exosomes, as well as anti-aging technology tailored for space environments. He also introduced advanced research on SAKESOME—a fusion of sake and exosomes—as a cutting-edge innovation bridging Earth and space.

“The Future Unlocked by Japanese Deep-Tech Engineering”
Speaker: Ryuto Fukuda (ASEAN Fund Manager, Space Seed Holdings Inc.)
Mr. Fukuda introduced Space Plots, a drone-based inspection system using augmented reality, and a next-generation Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) device. Space Plots reduces image analysis time by more than 40%, enabling non-experts to participate in inspections of complex structures. He also presented a vision for smart infrastructure inspections in urban areas, powered by a patented algorithm.
