Presenting the future of agricultural and microbial applications with Neutron Breeding® technology to the world.

Mito, Ibaraki — October 22, 2025, 10:00 a.m. — Quantum Flowers & Foods Inc. (Headquarters: Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture; CEO: Norio Kikuchi; hereinafter “QFF”) will exhibit at “AGRITECHNICA 2025,” the world’s largest agricultural technology exhibition, held in Hannover, Germany, from Sunday, November 9 to Saturday, November 15, 2025. This time, QFF will introduce its vision for applying innovative breeding technologies in the agricultural sector to the international market through the “agrifood start-ups” section.

Background and Purpose of Participation

QFF is recognized as the world’s first private company to apply neutron-beam technology to agricultural and microbial breeding and is also featured on Agritechnica’s digital exhibition platform.

Globally, the agricultural sector faces increasingly severe challenges such as climate change, disease resistance, and stagnating yields, making it difficult to address these issues solely through conventional breeding methods.

QFF’s “Neutron Breeding®” technology is characterized by enabling highly efficient mutation induction in a non-GMO regulated manner, holding the potential for rapid deployment of trait improvements such as heat tolerance, disease resistance, and yield enhancement.

Agritechnica, themed “Touch Smart Efficiency,” centers its exhibition around digital technology and smart agriculture, making it an ideal stage for QFF to showcase its technology to the international agricultural community.

Through this exhibition, we aim to further develop overseas partnerships, pursue joint research, negotiate technology licensing and adoption, and secure investment opportunities.

Comments from QFF CEO, Norio Kikuchi

AGRITECHNICA is the global hub for agricultural technology. For us at QFF, it represents a crucial opportunity to showcase our Neutron Breeding® technology on the international stage. We firmly believe this technology will unlock possibilities in areas where traditional breeding methods faced significant time constraints and limitations. Through dialogue with visiting agricultural professionals, researchers, and companies, we aim to explore new seeds of co-creation spanning agriculture, the environment, and the bio-industry.
