Honda Unveils CI-powered Micro-mobility Technologies that Utilize Honda CI (Cooperative Intelligence), Honda’s Original AI that Enables Mutual Understanding between Machines and People

TOKYO, Nov 3, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Honda R&D Co., Ltd., which takes a lead role in Honda's technology research and development, today unveiled two "Honda CI Micro-mobility" machines, which utilize Honda CI (Cooperative Intelligence(1)), Honda's original AI (artificial intelligence) that enables mutual understanding between machines and people. The 4-passenger model of the CiKoMa (right) and WaPOCHI (left) to be used in the technology demonstration testingHonda also introduced core technologies adopted for the Honda CI Micro-mobility machines and announced plans to begin technology demonstration testing using Honda CI Micro-mobility machines in two locations in Joso City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, namely "Mitsukaido Asunaro no Sato" camping and lodging park (testing starts in November 2022) and Agri-science Valley (testing starts in spring 2023). Honda has been working on the development of CI-powered micro-mobility technologies with the aim to realize a society where each and every person can enjoy the joy and freedom of mobility. To this end, Honda is trying to make the mobility of people and things ubiquitous (whenever, wherever, to any destinations), collision-free and stress-free. In a society where the birthrate is declining, the population is aging and people have adopted new habits after experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic, an increase has been forecast for the need for unrestricted mobility of people and things using micro-mobility machines. With such an assumption, Honda has established two core technologies:1) the "map-less cooperative driving technology," which enables the micro-mobility machine to self-drive while recognizing its surroundings without relying on high-precision maps and2) the "user intention understanding and communication technology," which enables the micro-mobility machine to perform human-like communication with dialogues and gestures. Now, Honda is ready to conduct real-world technology verification through technology demonstration testing of its micro-mobility machines that utilize these core technologies, namely the "CiKoMa" ride-in micro-mobility vehicle and "WaPOCHI" micro-mobility robot, in multiple areas in Joso City, Ibaraki Prefecture in Japan.Further down the road, Honda will continue advancing its CI-powered micro-mobility technologies while expanding the area where the technology demonstration testing will be conducted in Joso City. Honda's aim is to put these technologies into practical applications by around 2030 and introduce Honda CI Micro-mobility products which will simultaneously realize both the "advancement of mobility and people's daily lives" and the "realization of zero traffic collisions." (1) A type of artificial intelligence that supports the user while cooperating with the user and people around them by communicating with gestures and words.

AIM Vaccine's comprehensive vaccine product portfolio is empowered by high-quality, commercial-scale manufacturing capabilities of the Group's four individual licensed manufacturing facilities, enabling AIM Vaccine to achieve scalable and quality supply of multiple vaccines. As of 16 September 2022, a total of 45 production permits were granted by the NMPA to 33 vaccine manufacturers or manufacturer groups, and only seven had approved lot releases for four or more products in 2021, including the Group. By obtaining four production permits, the Group is the largest holder of production permits in the PRC among all privately-owned companies, and the second largest holder overall.Strive to access the best industry resources and innovative technologies to accelerate product development and commercializationIn order to accelerate building up a vaccine portfolio with true market potential, AIM Vaccine is profoundly committed to striving to access the best industry resources. AIM Vaccine currently has four individual licensed manufacturing facilities with differentiated product foci. AIM Vaccine acquired Rong'an Bio, AIM Honesty, AIM Kanghuai and AIM Weixin between 2015 and 2017, together with their vaccine products against human rabies, HBV, HAV, mumps and HFRS. After these acquisitions, AIM Vaccine upgraded the manufacturing infrastructure in each subsidiary to meet the latest GMP standards, improved manufacturing processes and techniques in pursuit of higher product quality and stronger supply capabilities, formulated and executed production plans which closely follow group marketing strategies and consolidated supply chains.In addition, AIM Vaccine turns science to high-quality vaccine products through a truly interactive R&D and manufacturing process with high efficiency. AIM Vaccine has established dedicated R&D departments in each of the four operating subsidiaries, with a specific focus on developing new vaccine varieties based on their respective leading products and manufacturing specialties. In addition, AIM Explorer, one of the Group's three research institutions, focuses on offering technological support to the four operating subsidiaries with research on early-stage and cutting-edge technologies as its priority. A cross-functional, cross-entity collaboration, which enables AIM Vaccine to consider both biological attributes and sound engineering and manufacturing principles from program inception onwards, could significantly improve R&D success rates and vaccine delivery efficiency. AIM Vaccine realizes a promotive synergy across vaccine R&D and manufacturing. On one hand, AIM Vaccine has ready-for-use commercial-scale manufacturing facilities to harness development of various vaccine candidates. On the other hand, the intensive pilot and scale-up productions of diverse candidates also rapidly refine and improve the Group's process know-how, production facilities, and productivity and skillset of production teams. Such a collaborative development path and culture enable AIM Vaccine to generate 22 vaccine candidates across different development stages.Leading mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in R&D progress is expected to capture massive market opportunitiesThe ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has created a massive and sustainable vaccine market in the globe and PRC. To capture such massive and underserved vaccine market opportunities, AIM Vaccine is currently developing vaccines for COVID-19 based on mRNA technology platform and has initiated a global Phase III clinical trial. According to CIC, as of 16 September 2022, there was no approved mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in the PRC. Six PRC vaccine developers were undertaking clinical trials for their respective mRNA COVID-19 vaccine candidates in the PRC or overseas, two of which (including AIM Vaccine) reached Phase III clinical trials. Therefore, AIM Vaccine's mRNA COVID-19 vaccine candidate is expected to be one of the first few to be approved in the PRC. Moreover, AIM Vaccine's mRNA vaccine pilot scale production facility is also among the first one to reach GMP standards in the PRC. In addition, for candidates against variant strains, AIM Vaccine has successfully constructed and produced trial vaccines against different variant strains in preclinical studies, including the Omicron variant strain. AIM Vaccine plans to first obtain NDA approval for and/or launch the Group's mRNA vaccine against the Original Strain in the second quarter of 2023 to address the urgent and near-term market demand. For the longer future, AIM Vaccine plans to launch the broad-spectrum recombinant adenoviral vector vaccine, which is not only effective against COVID-19 variants, but also risks of other coronavirus. Strong pipeline consisting of market-leading vaccine products and vaccine candidates with large market sizeAs of 16 September 2022, AIM Vaccine had eight vaccine products against six vaccine-preventable infectious diseases, and 22 vaccine candidates against 13 major vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. According to CIC, the Group's portfolio of vaccine products and vaccine candidates covers all top 10 vaccine products worldwide by 2021 global sales (totaling US$101.9 billion).Among its vaccine products, HBV vaccines and human rabies vaccines are the Group's key commercialized products, which is the main source of revenue for the Company, and each has a leading position in the corresponding Chinese vaccine market. In addition to these two types of market-leading key commercialized vaccines, AIM Vaccine has other vaccine products against HAV, meningococcal diseases, mumps and HFRS, which diversify the Group's product portfolio and revenue sources.Among 22 vaccine candidates in the Group's pipeline against 13 disease areas, AIM Vaccine has five candidates at clinical stages, and plans to file over 10 CTAs by the end of 2023 to advance multiple CTA-enabling and preclinical candidates to clinical trial stages. Out of this robust pipeline, AIM Vaccine expects to obtain NDA approvals for and/or launch new vaccine products every year from 2023 to 2025 and 12 other new products in and after 2026, to bring sustainable new growth drivers to the Group's business with a continuously diversifying product portfolio.Strong R&D capabilities fueled up by the full-spectrum proven human vaccine platform technologies, and mass-scale manufacturing capabilities with proven quality managementAIM Vaccine is the only China-based vaccine company that possesses all five proven human vaccine platform technologies worldwide, namely bacterial vaccine technologies, viral vaccine technologies, genetically engineered vaccine technologies, combination vaccine technologies and mRNA vaccine technologies. As of 16 September 2022, AIM Vaccine operates four individual licensed manufacturing facilities (Rong'an Bio, AIM Honesty, AIM Kanghuai and AIM Weixin), with a designed annual production capacity of 25.0 million doses, 45.0 million doses, 5.3 million doses and 16.0 million doses, respectively, or 91.3 million doses in aggregate. Each licensed manufacturing facility is responsible for producing one or more specific types of vaccines with different production processes and techniques. According to CIC, vaccine quality and safety attributes are highly dependent on the production processes and techniques, which take time to accumulate and are very hard to copy or switch. In addition, vaccine companies in China are generally prohibited from outsourcing manufacturing to CMOs. As a result, these four individual licensed manufacturing facilities create a highly competitive edge for the Group. By equipping AIM Vaccine with extensive hands-on experiences, process know-how and ready-for-use large-scale production capacity for multiple vaccine products, they enable AIM Vaccine to promptly respond to increasing commercial demand and shorten vaccine development cycle.AIM Vaccine has established a comprehensive quality management from vaccine research, development and manufacturing, with high and consistent quality as the Group's top priority. All the Group's four licensed manufacturing facilities have maintained 100% pass rate in vaccine lot release quality audits by the National Institutes for Food and Drug Control ("NIFDC") under the Group's operation, higher than the industry average level, according to CIC. AIM Vaccine is the only human rabies vaccine manufacturer with 100% pass rate in lot release quality audits by NIFDC over the past five years, and the Group's 10ug HBsAg/0.5ml recombinant HBV vaccine (Hansenula Polymorpha) has maintained 100% pass rate in lot release quality audits for 15 years since commercial launch.Extensive sales network and highly experienced and efficient commercialization teamThe Group's sales and marketing function is centralized, and is specialized and market-oriented.

Mitsubishi Corporation Invests in Climate-tech through Breakthrough Energy Catalyst

TOKYO, Apr 25, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) is pleased to announce its decision to invest in Breakthrough Energy Catalyst (Catalyst), a program dedicated to accelerating innovative climate technologies. MC plans to invest 100 million USD in Catalyst, and in doing so will become the first company headquartered in Asia to make a commitment of this scale to the fund. Catalyst is a first-of-its-kind model that brings together companies, governments, and private philanthropy to accelerate the adoption of critical, next generation climate technologies. Catalyst is part of Breakthrough Energy, a network of initiatives founded by Bill Gates in 2015 dedicated to funding, developing, commercializing, and scaling the technologies that will be necessary to avoid a climate disaster. By making targeted investments in climate technologies that have proven their potential through research and development, Catalyst aims to speed up their large-scale commercialization. This will significantly decrease the price of new clean products, increase their availability in the market, and demonstrate how to finance the infrastructure of decarbonization at scale. Having unveiled its own roadmap to carbon neutrality in October 2021, MC has publicly disclosed both its greenhouse-gas emissions reduction targets and energy-transformation (EX) investment guidelines. As a private entity with ownership in resource, energy and many other businesses, MC is fully committed to doing its part in the worldwide push to decarbonize. Renewables, hydrogen, ammonia and methanation are just some of the next-generation energy initiatives that MC is now examining as future earnings pillars, but MC also understands the challenges to achieving a net-zero world. Swift application of new technologies and innovations will be crucial to meeting those challenges. Catalyst creates a framework in which Breakthrough Energy and its public and private sector partners including governments, corporations, and philanthropic organizations, will work together to commercialize high-impact decarbonization technologies through measures such as equity investment, grant funding and offtake agreements. These technologies will underpin a zero-carbon economy but are currently more expensive than their existing fossil-fuel emitting counterparts. The difference between these costs is what is now referred to as "Green Premium." The current Catalyst focus areas are (1) Clean Hydrogen (and related infrastructure), (2) Long-duration Energy Storage (LDES), (3) Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), and (4) Direct Air Capture (DAC). In future, the Catalyst program and its partners may expand its focus to include other hard-to-abate sectors. MC also considers these technologies vital to its own EX strategies and net-zero roadmap. By participating in this program, MC is demonstrating a commitment to growing climate technologies and further reducing our carbon footprint in ways that will not compromise our quality of life. At MC we are proud of the wealth of expertise and networks that we have built up in Japan and throughout Asia. We remain dedicated to optimizing those assets so that we can assist our Catalyst partners in steel, aviation, finance, energy and other industries. Together we will work to enhance the program's value and help us transition to a carbon-neutral world.
