The Asahi Kasei Group primarily adopts three approaches—in-house R&D, investment in startups and other promising companies, and collaboration/M&A—to the creation of new businesses. We take steps including eliciting and advancing research subjects, corporate venture capital (CVC) activities, and strengthening the implementation of M&A to promote and accelerate each of these approaches.
To strengthen the business platform underpinning these approaches to new business creation, we are focusing on green (G), digital (D), and people (P)—GDP—transformation and the full utilization of intangible assets.
