Overview

Organizational Structure of the New Business Development Division

To strengthen the creation of new businesses for the next generation and ensure the sustainable growth of existing businesses, Denka established the New Business Development on April 1, 2022, and reorganized its company-wide research and new business development structure.
This reorganization included the restructuring of the Denka Innovation Center, which serves as the foundation for the Denka Group’s diverse technologies, along with the R&D Management Department, Intellectual Property Department, and Analysis Technology Research Department, which function as corporate research units.
Furthermore, the New Business Creation Department was established to consistently drive the entire process from business conception to concept verification, incubation, and commercialization.

Focused fields for New Business Development

For new business development, we will focus on the world that we envision in the future and the megatrends that emerge from these challenges, and will focus on three key fields.
Furthermore, we are promoting the early commercialization of businesses in adjacent fields through a “trickle-out strategy” that leverages Denka’s strengths in organic, inorganic, and biotechnology expertise.
Our research portfolio is structured with 80% trickle-out and 20% entirely new area. We are driving the creation of new businesses through cross-domain technological collaboration, such as the application of existing materials to bio-functional materials, by achieving the optimal mix of ICT & Energy and Healthcare.
