ASAHI KASEI CORPORATION and the open innovation platform AUBA are jointly opening applications from participating companies for the “Asahi Kasei Value Co-Creation Table 2026” program, which seeks to co-create future possibilities. Partners are being sought across four themes, with the application period divided into three phases.
ASAHI KASEI CORPORATION and AUBA, the open innovation platform operated by eiicon, will open applications from participating companies for “Asahi Kasei Value Co-Creation Table 2026” from 20 October 2026. The program aims to create sustainable value by broadly exploring opportunities for co-creation between companies and ASAHI KASEI CORPORATION’s divisions.
There are four application themes: next-generation resin emulsions and films; high-performance, stretchable polymers; creating new markets using kitchen products from 旭化成ホームプロダクツ; and developing high-speed analysis tools to accelerate the early-stage design of resin components. Each theme envisages exploring applications that address market needs and pursuing technology partnerships.
The application period is divided into multiple phases: Phase 1 runs from 20 October to 20 November 2026, Phase 2 from 21 November to 20 December, and Phase 3 from 21 December to 20 January 2027. Selection results will be notified for each phase, after which discussions will proceed to interviews.
Eligibility requires corporate registration and ownership of an idea. Companies selected for continued discussions through discussion-based interviews are expected to proceed with discussions toward co-creation.
