Ways to partner with us
Place your product or technology at a SUCRECUBE Japon site and see how it is used. Support a pilot through a fund or a social contribution budget. Combine the technologies of several companies at one site under a public programme or a joint investment. Partnerships with companies are built in these three steps.
