Broad Coverage
The analyst is a specialized biotechnology media with over 40 years of history in Japan. In cooperation with major universities and prominent venture capitalists throughout Japan, the analyst regularly surveys startups in the biotechnology field. Among them, the analyst has selected 395 with outstanding technologies and business models. Many startups do not have their own website and disclose less information compared to larger, listed companies. In this respect, The Directory of Biotech Startups in Japan 2021-2022 is packed with hard-to-find and must-have information for those who desire to invest in biotech startups.
Unified Format
Many startups do not have their own website. Compared to listed companies, unlisted companies disclose less information. To compile this directory, the analyst contacted all the companies and researched their technology, patents, collaborators, shareholders, etc. You can compare 395 companies in a unified format. Of the 395 start-ups, specialized journalists directly interviewed 207 of particular note to analyze their technological features and management strategies in preparation of detailed company reports for this directory. The Directory of Biotech Startups in Japan 2021-2022 can be used as a screening document for pharmaceutical giants and venture funds around the world looking for new business partners.
Easy to Find
Despite their technological prowess, Japan's biotech startups face challenges when it comes to disseminating information overseas. This is because many do not have their own websites, and they tend to disclose less information than larger, listed companies. To address this issue, the editors of The Directory of Biotech Startups in Japan 2021-2022 contacted all of the startups in the directory to research their technologies, patents, collaborators, and shareholders, as well as to gather other types of information.
Additionally, the editors conducted interviews with 207 companies of particular note to analyze their technological features and management strategies. The resulting detailed company reports are available in a unified format for easier comparison by pharmaceutical giants and venture funds around the world looking for new business partners. Industry maps produced based on modality are included in order to facilitate screening procedures. Products developed by the startups are categorized into 11 tables focused on the following modalities: "Small molecules," "Peptides," "Antibodies (including antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs))," "Proteins," "Nucleic Acids," "Gene Therapy," "Cell Medicine," "Regenerative Medicine," "Vaccines (including Adjuvants)," "Other modalities" and "Digital (Digital Health and Digital Therapeutics)." For each modality, products are plotted on a matrix (see Figure 1), with disease areas presented vertically and relevant development stages horizontally. Using this type of visualization, startups of interest can be easily identified based on modality, disease area, and development stage.
Who Should Buy
This directory was compiled for businesses looking to find new partners in the biotechnology field. A pharmaceutical company would always be screening startups in search of new drug candidates. An investment fund would constantly be putting together a list of new investees for the next round. Introducing 395 biotech startups in Japan, The Directory of Biotech Startups in Japan 2021-2022 is the perfect source of information to meet such needs.
Japan is known on a global scale for its highly advanced science and technology. In the field of biotechnology, Japan has produced a wide range of research results and more than 1,000 startups were born to put these results to practical use. Nearly 50 of them are already listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, but there are more with excellent technologies. We believe that this directory, dedicated to unlisted companies, will serve as a powerful database for those who are looking for the industry’s gems that are not yet widely known.

Executive Summary
The Directory of Biotech Startups in Japan 2021-2022 contains information on Japanese biotech companies that are expected to take off soon. The analyst, Japan's largest biotechnology media, has researched more than 1,000 biotech startups throughout Japan and selected 395 unlisted startups that it judged to have promising futures. The analyst focused on unlisted companies because, unlike listed companies, there is a lack of information on them.
This directory is divided into three parts.
Chapter 1 is "Japanese Biotech Startups in the Spotlight." the analyst selected 207 biotech startups that deserve special attention, based on the knowledge of Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) and venture capitalists. Expert journalists interviewed the 207 startups directly, analyzed their technological features and management strategies, and compiled detailed company reports. Based on a questionnaire survey of each company, we have also included information on patents held and future capital policies in a standardized format.
Chapter 2 is "Japanese Biotech Startups." The remaining 188 startups are introduced with company information (technology, patents, joint research partners, shareholders, etc.) based on a questionnaire survey conducted with each of them.
Chapter 3 is the industry map by modality. To help you quickly access the biotech startups you are looking for, we utilized a technique called Matrix Analysis. For each of the 11 modalities (Small Molecules, Peptides, Antibodies, Proteins, Nucleic Acids, Gene Therapy, Cellular Medicine, Regenerative Medicine, Vaccines, Digital, and others), the analyst has plotted startups by disease area and development stage.
The survey of each company was conducted between March and May of 2021. Except in special cases, information on each company is current as of the date of survey responses. This directory was translated from Japanese to English using the Machine Translation Assistance System developed by the analyst. While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, the official language of this directory is Japanese, and the Japanese language edition takes precedence over the English edition in terms of content and interpretation.
