Newton BioCapital Partners (NBC) and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) signed a contract on June 30, 2025, for the Support Project for the Development of Drug Discovery Ecosystems (the Project). Through this Project, NBC will support the early practical application of drug discovery seeds created at universities and other institutions, contributing to the strengthening and development of Japan's drug discovery ecosystem.
Background and Purpose of the Project
This project is part of the MHLW's efforts to build a Japan-based drug discovery ecosystem, aiming to support the practical application of Japan's outstanding drug discovery seeds with a global perspective.
