Objectives Behind SSHD’s Participation

Space Seed Holdings is driven by its mission to transform science fiction into reality, striving to establish the necessary technological framework for human habitation in outer space by 2040. Initially focusing on longevity and biotechnology commercialization on Earth, SSHD is advancing a dual-use strategy that utilizes the knowledge acquired from terrestrial operations to develop life support systems for space habitation.

The Space Noam Institute, a key player within the Livness Group, is dedicated to promoting integrated research and education that combines “NEST (Nature, Engineering, Science, Technology)” with “SPACE.” Under the leadership of SSHD's CEO, Kengo Suzuki, who also serves as the director of SPACE LAB., the company's booth will showcase SSHD's endeavors and research directly to conference attendees.

Showcase Highlights at the Booth

At the upcoming conference, SSHD plans to unveil an array of groundbreaking space-related research and technologies:

1. Research and Development of Fermentation Technology in Space
SSHD collaborates with JAXA in the co-creation program “SPACE FOODSPHERE,” advancing fermentation and aquaculture technologies for resource efficiency in space. The aim is to establish closed-loop food production systems that ensure the nutritional quality and quality of life (QOL) for astronauts.

2. Application of Longevity Technology in Space
Through its core subsidiary, Regenerosome, SSHD explores exosome research and epigenetic clock technology, addressing aging phenomena accelerated in microgravity. It leverages findings from anti-aging research on Earth to maintain astronaut health in space.

3. Foundation for Space Experimentation
Collaborating with the Space Noam Institute, SSHD will introduce the use of the “Space Agent,” a compact module designed for experimental purposes in Earth's orbit.

4. Next-Generation Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) Equipment
In a partnership with Okayama University of Science, SSHD presents an innovative anvil cell structure capable of sintering under ultra-high pressure, designed for efficient new material development.

5. Roadmap Towards Sustainable Space Habitation
SSHD will detail its 2040 roadmap for achieving space habitation, supported by the “Fermentation and Longevity Fund” through a venture builder model.

About Space Noam Institute

The Space Noam Institute (formerly known as NEST EdLAB) operates under the Livness Group, integrating nature, engineering, science, technology, and space (NEST + SPACE) to push for the long-term sustainability of Earth and expand human activities into space. Their vision, “Designing Earth for Ten Generations Ahead,” is realized through initiatives such as the “NEST LAB” for next-generation education and “SPACE LAB” for space utilization research.
