Establishment of Business Ecosystem
By creating a business ecosystem with IT vendors, start-ups, and other alliance partners with advanced technologies or platforms, we foster engineers who succeed in new fields of technology likely to experience increasing demand.
Alliance
We cooperate and collaborate with leading-edge technology companies in Japan and overseas and utilize our group network to provide high value added services to customers in both regions.
Development environment construction / operation support
With the increasing scale and complexity of embedded systems in automobiles, aircraft, medical equipment, robots, etc., the importance of model-based development (development by simulation technology) to shorten the development period and improve quality is increasing.
In building a model-based development environment for customers, collaborating companies provide support at the consulting and design stages, whilst TechnoPro Group mainly provides support and engineering at the implementation and operation stages, thereby offering high quality services to our customers.
Human resource development support
In the manufacturing and IT industries, many companies are facing a shortage of human resources due to a decline in young science personnel.
In addition to providing education and training curriculum for customers, we provide support for the development of design engineers by providing instructors as engineers from the TechnoPro Group.
Leading Company Partners
Industry-academia collaboration
In collaboration with many universities aiming for social innovation through technology, we conduct joint research and development in various advanced research fields such as medical / biotechnology, AI, and drones.
Joint research with Tokyo Institute of Technology
The TechnoPro Group is conducting joint research with the Tokyo Institute of Technology Institute of Innovative Research to develop monitoring equipment and systems for breeding cattle. In free-range livestock farming, livestock farmers may not be aware of deteriorating health conditions, which can lead to disease and death and therefore there is a strong need for technology that can accurately monitor the condition of livestock remotely. In order to tackle this problem, the project team has started field testing at Sakura Farm in Kuroshima, Taketomi Town, Okinawa to socially implement the AI monitoring system for cattle breeding “PETER” developed by the team. With the cooperation of The Kagoshima Bank, Ltd., the project team is also examining the utilization of ABL (Asset Based Lending) using cattle as collateral, with the aim of contributing to sustainable livestock farming businesses through efficient livestock ABL.

Joint research with Toyohashi University of Technology
Toyohashi Probe, developed by Toyohashi University of Technology, is a needle thinner than a cell on a 1mm square substrate.
An ultra-fine neuron electrode made by vertically growing silicon. A brain measurement device that utilizes this technology has made it possible to measure and record cranial nerve activity such as that of mice over a long period of time while minimizing damage to the living body. Future research and market developments are expected to contribute to the development of various medical fields such as brain learning functions including humans and disease process elucidation, development of brain disease diagnosis systems and BMI (brain-robot interface). Technology. The TechnoPro Group is conducting joint research with the university to develop a brain science research method using the Toyohashi probe.
