(Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Yoshitsugu Shitaka, Ph.D.; "RealizeEdge Partners") is pleased to announce its participation as a scientific collaborator in the "Mitsui Link Fund," a ¥7 billion life science-focused corporate venture capital (CVC) fund jointly established by Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd.
