Call for Participants [Conference on Super-Different Fields] Revolution in Plant Production ∼Unlocking the Potential of Plants ∼/March 6, 2021, 13:00-@Ota-ku, Tokyo
2021.02.12
A panel discussion, "The Plant Production Revolution ∼Unlocking the Potential of Plants ∼" (session partner: Plantex Corporation), will be held within the 10th Annual Conference of the Association of Hyperdifferent Fields, March 5-6, 2021 (Friday and Saturday), hosted by LIVERNESS.
Since humans began farming, they have made full use of agri-tech to increase the yield and improve the quality of their produce. As the world population increases and global climate change occurs, it is expected that humanity will be required to develop revolutionary plant production that will bring out the potential of plants in order to ensure a stable supply of food in the future. In this session, we will invite researchers who enhance plant growth and functionality to hear about their approaches to unlocking the potential of plants, and discuss the future envisioned when these approaches are reflected in future production sites.
We will have a program of discussions among researchers, start-ups, and large companies from a variety of perspectives, not limited to the themes of this session.
We are now accepting applications for audience participation. Please visit the conference website (see below).
*The event will be held after taking measures against new coronavirus infection on the day of the event.For more information

Representative Director
Risa Sakamoto
President and CEO of Quantomics Inc. Candidate for Doctor of Agriculture (University of Tokyo). Silver medalist in the International Biology Olympiad. Through his experience of participating in business contests as a student and working for a patent-related company, he came to realize that "varieties" are extremely important assets for companies and society, but that there is still much room to introduce advanced IT technology and data utilization in the field of breeding. With the aspiration to widely utilize the latest technology he learned in graduate school in society, he founded Quantomics Inc. in 2019 with the involvement of many researchers.
