Cool Innovation Selected as a Top 100 Startup at the Innovation Leaders Summit 2024!

In December 2024, Cool Innovation participated in the Innovation Leaders Summit (ILS TOKYO), Japan's largest open innovation conference that connects startups with major corporations to address pressing societal challenges and foster new collaborations.

12/6/2024

Cool Innovation was recognized as one of the Top 100 Startups at Japan’s largest open innovation event, the Innovation Leaders Summit 2024 (ILS). This honor reflects the high regard for our revolutionary refrigeration technology and its potential to address critical challenges for corporations and local governments striving for a more sustainable society.

Highlights from ILS 2024

During the event, Cool Innovation engaged in productive discussions with leading companies from various industries, exploring collaborative opportunities:

  • Energy Companies: Explored the application of refrigeration technology to support zero-carbon solutions. Proposed our 50% energy-saving technology as a key to achieving carbon neutrality.

  • International Trading Firms: Discussed with new business development teams the use of our refrigeration technology for global fresh produce trade models.

  • Global Logistics Companies: Collaborated with global business divisions to optimize logistics efficiency and reduce costs through a shift to ocean freight.

  • Real Estate Firms: Proposed cold storage modules for regional economic revitalization projects to new business creation teams.

  • Food & Beverage Industry: Worked with future innovation teams to reduce food waste and enable off-season sales.

  • Rail Distribution Industry: Collaborated with innovation departments to explore rail-based modal shifts and regional logistics applications.

  • Dairy Industry: Discussed advanced humidity-controlled preservation technology and new supply chain models with business development groups.

  • Local Governments: Engaged with commerce, labor, and fisheries departments to discuss leveraging fresh produce preservation for regional revitalization.

Why Cool Innovation Stands Out

Cool Innovation’s advanced high-humidity, low-temperature refrigeration technology extends the shelf life of fresh produce by up to 10 times, significantly reducing food waste. Compared to conventional systems, our solutions achieve a 50% reduction in energy consumption and cut logistics costs by up to 80%. By enabling a shift from air to ocean freight, we also reduce CO2 emissions by 97%. These advancements have already gained traction in markets across Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, and Malaysia.

Looking Ahead

At ILS, Cool Innovation showcased its vision for the future of cold chain technology. Our goal is not only to extend the freshness of food but also to revolutionize global fresh supply chains. We aim to deliver fresher, healthier food to everyone while significantly reducing environmental impact.

Join Us in Building a Sustainable Future

The $1 trillion food waste market presents immense opportunities. Cool Innovation is seeking partners and talent to collaborate in tackling this challenge and driving global growth. If our mission resonates with you, we welcome the opportunity to connect. Together, we can redefine refrigeration technology and contribute to a sustainable future.

Inquiries and Requests

Cool Innovation is seeking collaborative partners, academic institutions, government agencies, agricultural stakeholders, and food manufacturers to utilize, promote, and research our innovative solutions for maintaining the freshness of fruits and vegetables.

Our advanced technology not only addresses the global issue of food loss but also enables a shift from air transport to sea transport, significantly reducing costs and CO2 emissions.

With successful case studies in Japan, Thailand, and the Philippines, our technology, which guarantees reliable ROI through a subscription model, achieves 10 times* better freshness preservation compared to existing methods (*duration varies by product).

We would be delighted to work with you to reform the fresh produce supply chain and contribute to a more sustainable future.

For any questions or requests, please fill out all necessary details in the inquiry form and provide as much detail as possible about your needs. We will respond promptly and contact you regarding specific needs and solutions. Thank you.
