Technology Innovation

Not all innovative technologies can drive global change. "Innovation", in the true sence, occurs only when technologies are implemented into products and services, widely adopted, and deeply integrated into the operations of companies and individuals. Japanese companies have developed and possess many such innovative technologies. Our strong desire is to connect this potential to actual "innovation."

Our Essential

Our eye for identifying technologies is not limited to digital technology. Experts from a variety of fields, including mobility, energy, and materials, have a deep understanding of the technology and then identify its business potential. What sets us apart from leading researchers is that we also have a strategic eye cultivated through business consulting. Even if we are at a disadvantage due to de facto status, we overcome adversity with business strategies and tactics. We believe in the potential of our clients' technological innovations. We never give up. This is Baycurrent 's basic stance.

Featured Cases

Concept for Next-Generation Communication Infrastructure Using Human Augmentation Technology

Looking ahead to the 6G era in 2030, we are focused on human augmentation as a technology capable of driving innovation in human communication. Through discussions with experts both domestically and internationally, we had developed use cases leveraging technologies such as BMI (Brain-Machine Interface), haptics (tactile technology), and telexistence (remote presence). To realize these use cases, we had conceptualized a next-generation communication platform that integrates the real and virtual worlds and had organized a roadmap for the necessary actions toward social implementation.

Supporting Innovation in Future Mobility

In the automotive industry, which is experiencing dramatic changes due to the rise of new players, we supported the formulation and execution of competitive strategies aimed at the future of automobiles. We explored the future of cars by analyzing competitive trends and national strategies. We then developed a roadmap to achieve this vision, engage in discussions with the client's management, and oversaw project development and budget allocation. Additionally, we assisted in addressing various technical challenges, such as optimizing the development process through the use of digital twins.

Building a Global Supply Chain for the Practical Application of Hydrogen Transportation Technology

To commercialize a groundbreaking technology for low-cost hydrogen transportation, securing a critical component was essential, but competition for this component had intensified. To find a global supply chain partner, we created a long list of potential companies and assessed their technical capabilities and strategic alignment. We then investigated the companies on the short list, reached out to them, and conducted initial negotiations. We also identified key points of contention in the negotiations and developed strategies to address them.
