Mitsui Chemicals announce plans to open Digital Science Lab

Tokyo, Japan – Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. announced plans to open the Digital Science Lab to further accelerate the digital transformation (DX) of its R&D through digital science, a realm that blends computational science with data science and high-performance computing. The new research building will be located at Mitsui Chemicals’ Sodegaura Center, which is one of Japan’s largest R&D hubs belonging to a chemical company and brings together the combined knowledge of more than 1,000 researchers at a single site.

Mitsui Chemicals launched the VISION 2030 Long-Term Business Plan this past April and is guided by the Mitsui Chemicals Group’s corporate mission to “contribute broadly to society by providing high-quality products and services to customers through innovation and the creation of materials, while keeping in harmony with the global environment.” Going forward, Mitsui Chemicals will use these as a basis as it looks to resolve social issues via its business activities.
