Eco Q-bit Co., Ltd.
Established in August 2005 Capital stock: 0.99 million yen http://www.q-bit.jp/ (Japanese)
1) Application of Q-bit technology to improve logistics in foodstuff distribution from producers to consumers, 2) promotion and education of foods free of chemicals and additives based on Q-bit technology, and 3) sales of refrigerators, cool food keepers, thawing bins, and warehouses applying Q-bit technology
Keeping foods fresh for a long period without storage at temperatures below freezing could be done merely by attaching a small box to the side of the refrigerator, without opening a hole in it.
The recent situation as regards the world food supply suggests that Q-bit technology could attract a lot of attention, given its benefits for food storage.
BABY UNIVERSE is a software development firm whose activities center around creation of plug-in Adobe products.
It has provided many solutions to customers in the printing/design, CAD, and apparel industries, and has won widespread recognition for its development of web-based Java applications.
For JASS, its web shopping system for the apparel industry, it was officially cited as a "management innovation planning" firm by Kanagawa Prefectural Government.
It is making plans to develop new business in outdoor apparel for the aged with osteoporosis taking full advantage of its key competence in apparel CAD system technology (the tentative name for this business is "Yosoiki," meaning "going out"). Its activities on this front include the construction of new channels for manufacture and sale of apparel designed to be worn outdoors by aged who are bent over and have ceased to enjoy dressing up. It was heart-warming to hear the stories about how this apparel put smiles back on the faces of elderly female customers..

Representing a new type of private medical system business, the condominiums offer patients and their families a haven where they can receive treatment with peace of mind.

Rvision Corporation Established in October 2003 Capital stock: 50.0 million yen http://www.r-vision.co.jp/(Japanese)
The medical and nursing care industry is faced with various issues and credibility problems that remain to be resolved, including complicated work, human difficulties, and illegitimate practices in preparation of "rezepts" (itemized statements of medical acts and the points accorded to each). It is becoming indispensable to undertake a review of business mechanisms and system development through an industry-wide effort.
Rvision is engaged in the development and operation of systems for "rezept" preparation, with a focus on management of performance in the fields of medical and nursing care insurance.
The business spans a wide range of areas, and the presentation this time dealt specifically with business models for medical and nursing care providers. As a core undertaking in this field, Rvision has built a franchise chain operation around domiciliary services in medical massage. The number of LEIS medical massage clinics making up this chain increased to 85 nationwide over a period of two years. Rvision is also simultaneously pursuing business related to billing systems for complicated insurance payments.
