Qubit Security is a professional information security company. We have been exceedingly studied ‘hacking’, and developed real-time hacking detection cloud platform ‘PLURA'(https://plura.io) for the first time in the world.
We have changed the paradigm of security based on Big data analysis, machine learning, the largest scale of security log database in Korea, and real-time hacking detection technology. Our goal is to solve chronic troubles of security incident that could never be solved by traditional post-audit way.

As a startup at Kyoto University, we provide a service to help those who suffer from back pain improve their productivity. Currently it is limited to employees a corporate.
There are countless people in the world who suffer from bodily pain everyday, including the 20 million people in Japan.
Back pain is the number one cause of unproductivity, yet most of the sufferers don’t visit the medical institution until it becomes serious. And their reason? “they’re too busy with work.”
The CEO at Backtech, who has been practicing chiropractic for many years, has seen this too many times.
Most people with some sort of a bodily pain are stuck with the fear of never ending suffrage and with no clue of what to do.
PocketTherapist is an application that we’ve developed that links busy people who suffer from pain and certified therapists through technology in the comfort of their home.
Just like carrying a smartphone in your pocket, we want people to “carry” their therapists in their pocket, anywhere, anytime.
About 12 corporates have joined PocketTherapist after just 2 months of releasing our application.
About 80% of the population in the world experience a back pain, but this worldwide problem, somehow stays unsolved, even though it is the number one reason why people aren’t as active as they should be.
We thrive to improve health in Asia so that people can stay energetic and thus increase productivity, which will lead to the development of the economy.

Stream Technology Corporation was founded at Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Japan as a startup from University of Tsukuba since 2015. The president of the company, Shinichi Yamagiwa, is also teaching at the university as an associate professor in the computer science course. He has transferred his innovative outcomes to the company and has been challenging to the market. The owning major technologies are an AI framework for human movement analysis and a stream-based lossless data compression technology.
The AI framework, called “Skill Grouping”, provides numerical comparing method to applications that require to know difference of a comparing movement data from a movement BigData. The BigData consists of a large number of time-line sensing data sets acquired by any kinds of sensors or videos. The recent IoT applications are mainly targeted to the human users. Therefore, Skill Grouping is a key breakthrough to open a new market for IoT applications, which enables to manage skill differences, daily conditioning and also fitting method for suitable tools from just gathering a motion BigData without making any motion models.
On the other hand, the stream-based lossless data compression technology, called LCA-DLT, provides a very fast compression mechanism fully implemented on hardware. The recent IoT devices needs to receive continuous data without any breaks in the data, that is data stream. LCA-DLT compresses/decompresses data stream continuously with nanosecond-order small delay. It is provided by IP core package to LSI vendors.
Stream Technology Corporation is now growing fast by mainly promoting these two breakthrough technologies above, and also by receiving research collaboration contracts for creating innovative technology from large companies.

With the development of massively parallel next-generation sequencing that can analyze DNA samples at ultrahigh speed, the foundation for providing individual genome analysis to the general public at a realistic cost is being established. Databases have also been updated for genetic information on a large number of diseases. Although treatments and prevention methods might exist for a given disease, personal genome decoding can help devise medical interventions in accordance with the disease risk before actual onset of the disease, and thus help realize personalized medicine accordingly . When there are several members with a particular disease, such as cancer or cardiovascular disease, in one’s family, one might often get anxious about his/her own risk of developing that disease. Hiroki Sonehara, medical doctor at Chiba University Hospital, launched the project “Genome Clinic” in March 2017 as an original venture by Chiba University. This project offers a “medical checkup for personal genome,” where medical experts conduct individual genome analysis for prevention and early detection of disease in individuals from such afflicted families. So far, in this project, 59 genes in 27 diseases have been analyzed, for which the American College of Medical Genetics guideline has recommended understanding the risks and unveiling the actionable mutations. In Japan, this is the first attempt to evaluate multiple disease risks by conducting individual genome analyses by next-generation sequencing for general people who have not yet developed the disease some of their family members are afflicted with. The Genome Clinic will continue to conduct research aiming at price reduction for individual genome analysis and accuracy enhancement for disease risk judgement, thus improving analytical methods and social infrastructure for disease management.

LPixel, a spin-out startup from the University of Tokyo, is a leader in advanced image analysis software specialized in image data in life science field. The company was founded in March 2014 by three members working in the same research laboratory in the University of Tokyo. Since the establishment of the laboratory in 2000, the laboratory has been leading the image analysis technology in biological sciences. By integrating imaging technologies and the expertise in life science fields, LPixel developed a cloud-based image analysis platform specialized for life science images. The company is also developing a medical image analysis diagnostic support system designed to detect cancers and diseases by using their original artificial intelligence technologies. LPixel also provides a product which can detect unnatural parts such as cut and paste of images and processing in images included in academic papers in the life science area. LPixel is also involved in several major national projects including ImPACT and CREST to support the advancement of core image analysis technologies.

Sikumis.com is a marketplace and agrifintech at the sametime that intends to integrate the up-stream to the down-stream value chain of agro-based economy, in such away to achieve a certain level of efficiency that is a pre-condition to improve the life being of farmers, ranchers, smallholders etc in villages and remote areas.
