ZEON CORPORATION entered into a business alliance with QunaSys to jointly advance mathematical model-based development in R&D. The companies aim to enhance R&D decision-making in manufacturing by combining their materials development expertise with mathematical modeling technology.
ZEON CORPORATION announced on 27 October 2026 that it had entered into a business alliance agreement with QunaSys. As a new approach, the companies are working to expand mathematical model-based development across the manufacturing industry and support a deeper understanding of phenomena and more advanced decision-making.
ZEON CORPORATION and QunaSys entered into a capital and business alliance in March 2022 and are working to apply technologies including machine learning, automated experimentation and quantum computing to the development of a data management platform for materials development.
Under the new approach, the companies aim to build mathematical models that can be used in practice through a series of processes comprising defining objectives, breaking down factors, organizing hypotheses, formulating mathematical models, verification and reflecting results. The value of a model lies not only in the accuracy of its predictions, but also in its ability to deepen understanding of the essence of phenomena, narrow down hypotheses and support rational decisions on next steps.
Under its STAGE30 medium-term management plan, ZEON CORPORATION has positioned the data business as a growth driver. The company intends to advance the practical application of mathematical model-based development and accumulate case studies, promoting real-world implementation through joint research, PoC projects and the provision of solutions for companies.
