Fukuoka Jisho announced plans to open a specialized life science startup support facility at Kyushu University’s Hospital Campus by December 2025. The facility, tentatively named “Fukuoka Maidashi Life Science Lab Project,” will focus on research in genetics, genome studies, and infectious disease prevention, supporting startups involved in these fields.
The six-story building will house shared laboratories equipped for handling bacteria and viruses, along with office spaces. Companies in the facility will benefit from shared access to expensive research equipment, reducing initial investment costs.
