Our company will hold a seminar titled "Fundamentals and Practical Issues of Legal Affairs in the Data Center Business." Recently, there has been an increase in data center development projects in Japan, particularly focusing on hyperscale data centers. With the entry of foreign companies, the data center business, which is at the core of digital infrastructure, is expected to continue growing. However, due to the unique characteristics of data centers as an asset type that cannot be neatly categorized as traditional real estate or project-based assets, flexible and applied thinking is required in legal matters. There are numerous issues to consider, such as structuring, financing, permits, and the positioning of customer contracts and PPAs. In this seminar, instructors with extensive experience in various data center projects will explain the latest issues in detail. [Seminar Details] ■ Date and Time: November 19 (Tuesday) 13:30-15:30 (Doors open at 13:00) ■ Venue: JPI Conference Square ■ Instructors: Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu Law Office Partner and Attorney Kei Watanabe Partner and Attorney Eiji Miyagi *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Our company will hold a seminar on "Initiatives in Bio-Manufacturing." In recent years, there has been growing attention on bio-manufacturing, with predictions that its market size will reach approximately 200 trillion yen by 2030. The driving force behind this is the biofoundry, which utilizes digital technology and robotics to rapidly develop smart cells. On the other hand, in the development of production processes such as cultivation and separation purification, particularly in the scale-up development stage, costs and time are significant, creating a bottleneck for social implementation. To address this challenge, JGC HD has proposed an integrated biofoundry that conducts everything from smart cell development to process development in collaboration with Bacchus Bioinnovation, a biofoundry startup. This presentation will elaborate on the significance of our efforts toward the integrated biofoundry and detail two bio-manufacturing projects that our company is undertaking.
