The project aims to improve the stable and sustainable production of farmed saba.

UMITRON was selected for PoC Ground Tokyo, a Tokyo startup proof-of-concept acceleration program, and will proceed with the project theme: New value proposition for aquaculture fish by UMITRON data.

Umitron K.K. (Location: Tokyo; President: Ken Fujiwara; hereinafter referred to as “Umitron”) was selected for PoC Ground Tokyo, a Tokyo startup proof-of-concept (PoC) acceleration project), which is sponsored by the Tokyo metropolitan government. The total number of applicants was over 90, 19 startups got through to the pitch competition and a final 9 startups including Umitron were selected.

The PoC, which will start in September, will test how to appeal and market to consumers using aquaculture fish raised by Umitron’s technology. In the future, we will use Umitron technology and data to provide a reproducible and stable supply of high quality fish to consumers.
