Vision
Establish a flexible and tolerant social system
that can be valuable for both daily and emergency.
In recent years, it has become clear through various disasters that the current social system is vulnerable to "unexpected" risks because it pursues efficiency. This is not limited to disasters, but is an issue facing all current social systems in their pursuit of large-scale expansion and efficiency.
In this project, we aim to "Establish a flexible and tolerant social system that can be valuable for both daily and emergency" together with a group of deep-tech startups and partner companies with various assets.
CORE TECHNOLOGIES
To achieve VISION in LVNS RESILLIENCE PROJECT, we aim to create a collective of deep-tech by gathering core technologies of startup companies.We develop and implement business solutions.

Small-scale, Decentralized Water Recycling System
Since its founding in 2014, WOTA has been developing small-scale, decentralized water recycling systems and the water treatment self-control technology to regenerate and maximize the effective use of domestic wastewater to address various issues arising from the uneven distribution, scarcity, and pollution of water resources on the earth. WOTA has provided sanitary support in various disasters and continues to provide assistance, including supplying 300 units of private shower booths "WOTA BOX " and handwashing stands "WOSH" during the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake. Additionally, they have successfully demonstrated the implementation of the "small-scale, decentralized water recycling system" for residential water use, and have begun introducing it to local governments and municipalities both domestically and internationally.

Infrastructure-independent toilet flushing water circulation system
e6s has developed a sustainable water-flush toilet system called "e6s" that recycles toilet flushing water while reducing waste volume for hygienic and safe collection. By installing and setting up e6s in advance, even if the infrastructure is disrupted during a disaster, people can continue using public toilets and home toilets that are equipped with the system. Additionally, it is possible to install water-flush toilets in places without infrastructure, such as outdoor areas. The e6s system aims to ensure that people do not have to experience the inconvenience of not being able to use toilets during disasters.

System to produce methane gas and electricity from agricultural residues
Dr. Yasunori Baba, president of Environmental Microorganism Research Institute, Co., Ltd. and associate professor at Research Institute for Bioresources and Biotechnology, Ishikawa Prefectural University, experienced life as a survivor of the Great East Japan Earthquake when he was a researcher at Tohoku University. He realized that weeds were available even when there was no gas or electricity during the disaster, and began research on generating gas and electricity from weeds. After much research, he succeeded in developing the “GEP Solution,” a technology for highly efficient methane production from persistent biomass such as weeds and agricultural residues by utilizing bovine rumen (first stomach) microorganisms. He founded a company in August 2022 to implement the results of this research in the world.
