National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST)

The National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST) was established in April 2016 with the goal of advancing quantum science and technology in a comprehensive and integrated manner. This organization emerged from the merger of the National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS) with certain operations previously conducted by the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). QST's mission is centered on elevating quantum and radiological sciences and technologies through dedicated research and development efforts related to quantum science and technology, the impact of radiation on humans, radiation emergency medicine, and the medical use of radiation. In line with its mission, QST aims to ensure that its research and development endeavors yield noteworthy academic, social, and economic impacts. Additionally, the organization seeks to maximize the benefits from global innovation by establishing world-leading research and development platforms, exploring new fields, and serving as a center for radiation protection and radiation emergency medicine. The diverse areas of focus for QST encompass Health Care, Information Technology, and Life Sciences. Notably, QST has been operating since 1957, and as of now, specific details regarding its last investment and associated investors are not available.
