(Headquarters: Nagoya City, President and Representative Director: Yuki Fushimi) has recently announced that it is the Chitose Group (Group Management Company: CHITOSE BIO EVOLUTION PTE.

participated in the “MATSURI” project led by Singapore as an industry construction partner. “MATSURI” is a project to build a “society based on algae.” While promoting the realization of carbon neutrality through the production of algae*1 that utilizes photosynthesis, we will collaborate with partner companies to develop businesses and provide society with algae products that support people’s lives, such as fuels, plastics, food, and cosmetics. Efforts are underway to popularize it.

In the field of “health and beauty,” we provide a wide range of services to help our customers stay healthy forever and enjoy life in their own way, with the theme of achieving healthy longevity and contributing to personal well-being in the era of 100-year lifespans. I’m doing it. Through the MATSURI project, our group will develop and develop new products and services such as cosmetics that utilize algae, thereby contributing to the realization of even richer and happier lives for our customers while protecting the global environment. That’s what I want to do. ■About “MATSURI” “MATSURI” is an abbreviation for “Microalgae Towards Sustainable and Resilient Industry.” This project is led by the Chitose Group, which has strengths in large-scale production and commercialization of algae, and works with Japan’s leading companies and government to build an algae industry that no one has been able to achieve before.
