R2B

Pursuing an “R2B” strategy to
accelerate the societal
implementation
of
innovative technologies

As a ‘Trial & Error Experiment Driven Company’ that finds solutions to societal challenges,
Kaneka integrates its proprietary polymer and fermentation technologies together
with various introduced technologies to create unique products and services.

Because we believe that accelerating this process is the quickest way to make the world a healthier place,
we, thus, pursue an “R2B” (Research to Business) strategy.

In particular, we position “environment/energy”, “food”, and “wellness” as key focus areas,
and strategically assign research departments based on our business and technology-related domains.

Together with our business units, we are developing targeted solutions to address these challenges.
