Creation of the Rare Sugar Industry

Attracting and Fostering Industry and Private Sector Laboratories

 

Support for New Product Development through Research

• The project supports local businesses in developing new products that use D-psicose, Rare Sugar Syrup, or other ingredients.
• Non-food items, such as non-toxic pesticides, are also being put on the fast track for development. We expect to see these other fields established soon.
• The project supports Kagawa businesses that are commercializing successes from Kagawa University's glyco-bio research.
• Through Kagawa's Industrial Technology Research Center, the project also provides technical support to Kagawa businesses that are investigating ways to efficiently produce rare sugars or developing new products.
• Kagawa Prefectural Industrial Technology Research Center

A Network of Industry, Academia, and Government

To efficiently pursue the rare sugar project, a consortium of industry, academia and government with its diverse viewpoints is supporting organizations and programs that work to commercialize and promote rare sugar.

• Rare Sugar Strategy Meeting
  Supports programs for investigating policies, exchanging information, and coordinating matters related to the project, through the cooperation of industry, academia, and government.
• Kagawa Glyco-Bio Forum（Link to an external site）
  The forum publicizes rare sugar (Kagawa's Dream Sugar), creates networks of people in the "glyco-bio" field, and holds symposiums.
