On January 15, 2026, the Sedona Forum Tokyo took center stage as a pivotal international policy forum, marking the first time it was held outside of the United States. Co-hosted by the McCain Institute and the International House of Japan, this important gathering saw leaders from a range of nations coming together to discuss pressing global issues. Earth Chemical Corporation, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, played a vital role as a bronze sponsor, offering support that focused on health safety and infection prevention, utilizing their proprietary technology known as MA-T® (Matching Transformation System®).
Earth Chemical is recognized for its innovative MA-T® technology, which generates stable, aqueous radicals that can significantly reduce pathogens in various environments. This system's effectiveness not only includes diseases but also extends to odor removal. It holds a solid reputation, having been adopted in medical, dental, veterinary, food hygiene, and lodging sectors. During the Sedona Forum, Earth Chemical provided essential products that helped create a safe environment for over 100 global policymakers and experts, allowing them to focus on their discussions without concerns about health risks.
To ensure that the venue was equipped for infection prevention, Earth Chemical deployed several MA-T® products throughout the forum. These included the 'Aqua Create Skin Solution' hand sanitizer, placed at entrances and dining locations, and the 'MA-T Mouthwash Spray,' which was distributed to all attendees as a precaution against droplet transmission and to maintain oral health.
Jack McCain, co-chair of McCain Advisory and a key figure behind the forum, expressed his enthusiasm for hosting the Sedona Forum in Japan, highlighting the importance of diverse perspectives and constructive dialogue that emerged from the extensive discussions. He also acknowledged the support from Earth Chemical, outlining their innovations, including the MA-T® technology, as crucial in making the world a safer place. McCain emphasized the significance of the collaborations formed at this event, aspiring for strengthened partnerships in the future.
Looking ahead, Earth Chemical has established a strategic partnership with McCain Advisory, led by CEO Jack McCain, to begin a thorough rollout of MA-T® products across the United States. This partnership is expected to leverage McCain Advisory's deep insights into policy and regulatory matters in the U.S. to effectively penetrate the market.
The initiative not only aims to address challenges in disaster prevention, healthcare, and food hygiene but also strives to position MA-T® technology as a global standard. The collaborative efforts of the kind cultivated during the Sedona Forum can potentially foster breakthroughs across diverse fields, enhancing public safety.
Moreover, Earth Chemical’s commitment to their MA-T® technology continues as they advocate for its societal implementation, championing this at various international platforms and contributing to a broad array of sectors. Their dedication has earned them prestigious accolades, including the Prime Minister’s Award at the 6th Cabinet Office Japan Open Innovation Awards and recognition at the Japan Resilience Awards.
With a forward-looking vision, Earth Chemical and McCain Advisory are gearing up to expand MA-T®’s reach globally, building safe spaces and resilient environments in the years to come. The Sedona Forum Tokyo has set the stage for meaningful international cooperation towards this goal.
