Research and Development Policy and Structure

Research and Development Organization (As of April 2020)

Denka Innovation Center


With the motto, “Open Innovation,” this is a core research and development center in a Denka Group, for further deepened technology and know-how that have been cultivated since the foundation, and inno-vation research for future value creation. This center provides values for all stakeholders not only as a tool for open innovation promotion but also as a place for the contribution to society that is open for communi-ties domestically and overseas.

Advanced Technologies Research InstituteThis institute was launched based on the old central research center where the themes of company’s basic research and mid- and long-term researches were handled. We focus on two themes of “Energy” and “Environment,” which are crucially important for the next generation. In particular, we promote effective research and development in collaboration with other companies, external research institutes, and universities, with respect to new raw materials, for example, secondary batteries and next-generation energy.Life Innovation Research InstituteThe Life Innovation Research Institute was established through the reorganization and merger of the former Central Research Institute's Life Science Department and former Denka SEIKEN Co., Ltd.'s Next-Generation Reagents and Vaccine Develop-ment Department. Aiming to create new technologies and products in the field of preventive medicine, diagnostics and therapy, the Life Innovation Research Institute is working to create new value in the healthcare field through its Diagnostic, and Vaccine & Biomedicine Departments.Infrastructure & Solutions Development Research InstituteThis institute explores infrastructure-related needs, develops technology responding to the new needs, and proposes solutions. It proceeds with the development of new materials from both organic and inorganic points of view as well as focusing on proposals taking one step further to construction and diagnostic technology. We are endeavoring to increase the pace of research and development as much as possible in order to connect more research themes to performance in the short period of time.

The Denka Group’s slogan is “Challenge and Open Innovation.” We understand that there are new, market-driven needs world-wide and so, whilst reinforcing and expanding our existing busi-ness, through the fusion of a number of different technologies, we are accelerating the creation of new value, next-generation business and products.To this end, we believe that it is necessary for us to transcend organizational boundaries and fields, and utilize the entire Denka

Group synergistically. This will enable us to drive research and devel-opment in a way that maximizes the whole Group’s capabilities.
