Research and Development
Message
Our mission at UBE's Research and Development Headquarters is to create next-generation core competencies (such as differentiation technologies) that will drive UBE's future.
To achieve this mission, we continue to take on challenges in the field of technology.
In the midst of global competition, the hard challenges are supported by the passionate colleagues with dreams of "changing tomorrow" and UBE's unique core technologies, cultivated through the efforts of our predecessors.
By sharing high-quality information, including mid- to long-term market needs and seeds information from academia and startups, using DX tools, we foster innovation and create the next generation of core competencies.
Research and Development Policy
- Creating new core competencies through a combination of backcasting from the future and forecasting from current operations
- Establishing technologies that are the source of competitive advantage through open innovation
- Developing environmentally friendly products and investing in growth market segments
UBE's Technology
We are further refining the core technologies that have supported UBE's chemical business to date, while integrating external technologies.
By doing so, we will create even more "strong technologies," achieving the expansion and strengthening of specialty businesses and creating new businesses.
We are also actively engaging in long-term research and development that contributes to reducing the global environmental impact, promoting sustainable growth in society.
