(Head office: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture; President: Toyohisa Yamada) will start a new venture business in 2024, which is one of the largest deep tech venture ecosystems in Asia promoted by Livanes Inc.TECH PLANTER(*)" in the deep tech area (fundamental technologies such as sensors, AI, robotics, etc.) as a partner.

The Deep Tech Grand Prix 2025 was held on Saturday, September 13, 2025, and our President Toyohisa Yamada, who served as a judge on the day, presented the Yamada Shokai Award to IZANA Corporation (Aichi Prefecture), which aims for social implementation of ultra-high sensitivity magnetic sensors that can be used anywhere.

IZANA Corporation has developed a highly noise tolerant, "usable-anywhere, ultra-sensitive magnetic sensor" that solves the trade-off between magnetic field sensitivity and wide range that conventional ultra-sensitive magnetic sensing faces, and enables use in magnetic noise environments. With this sensor, we aim to contribute to a better future society by visualizing things that could not be measured before, such as ferrous foreign matter contamination at manufacturing sites, sensing in underwater environments where radio waves do not penetrate, and detecting underground buried objects.

（About TECH PLANTER
It is an ecosystem that discovers researchers and R&D ventures with a passion to change the world and nurtures them into businesses that contribute to solving global issues in cooperation with major corporations, medium-sized companies, financial institutions, local factories, and others. Under the concept of "solving unsolved "deep issues" with "deep tech," a collection of science and technology," the competition will be held in seven areas (deep tech, eco, marine, agriculture, food, biotechnology, and lifetech), The goal is to solve unsolved issues by strategically searching for, investing in, and fostering the seeds of business development and R&D by combining the issues, technologies, and assets brought by the entry teams and partner companies in the seven areas (Deep Issue, Eco, Marine, Agri, Food, Biotech, and Lifetech).
