24M Technologies, Inc. (24M) is working with Kyocera to develop the technology and mass-produce battery storage products using 24M’s SemiSolid™ manufacturing platform. 24M’s SemiSolid™ has a simpler manufacturing process than conventional batteries, meaning it is less expensive. But, that's not all. It has higher energy density, improved safety, and a longer service life. It is the first of its kind,* and its potential applications for storing electricity are drawing a lot of attention. We have been developing products together with manufacturers of hybrid and electric vehicles, as well as with partners who provide wind- and solar-powered energy management systems. As manager of the advanced process development team, I am responsible for improving existing technologies and production lines as well as spearheading new innovations. I am constantly trying to see what we can do to improve quality, not only for the issues at hand, but also for the environment in which the next generation of products will be developed.

Protecting the world's oceans through the visualization of ocean conditions to benefit not only the marine industry, but all of society.We at Nagasaki University are currently working with Kyocera to develop an Energy Harvesting Smart Buoy. This system can measure and communicate ocean data while generating electricity from tidal power to sustainably collect ocean data necessary for fisheries, such as changes in seawater temperature, ocean currents, and the amount of microplastics. The main goal of the project is

The manufacturing of small, complex machined metal parts is constantly evolving to maintain high quality and enable technological advancements in various high-tech industries.

Aims to make a positive impact on people and society through autonomous driving technology and public transportation—solving issues such as driver shortages and shrinking bus services in rural areas.

A new endeavor to combine the cutting-edge design technology of IMSE™ with Kyocera's own innovations through collaboration between engineers and a partnership with Kyocera.
