化学メーカー向けに製造プロセスを提供するメカノクロス、XTech VenturesをリードにプレシリーズA調達

Sep 8, 2025

BRIDGE(ブリッジ) Image Credit: メカノクロス 製薬・化学メーカー向けに製造プロセスを提供する メカノクロス は5日、プレシリーズ A ラウンドで既存・新規投資家から資金を調達し、融資・補助金を含む累計調達額が約10億円に達したと発表した。今回のラウンドには既存投資家であるインキュベイトファンド、QBキャピタル、北洋銀行(北洋 SDGs 推進3号投資事業有限責任組合)に加え、新たに5社が参画した。新規投資家は XTech Ventures(リード)、Spiral Innovation Partners(ゆうちょ Spiral Regional Innovation Fund を運営)、Angel Bridge、三菱 UFJ キャピタル、北海道ベンチャーキャピタルとなる。 同社は有機溶媒をほとんど使用せず固体同士を摩擦や衝撃で反応させる「メカノケミカル有機合成」技術をコアに、製薬・化学メーカー向けに製造プロセスを提供するスタートアップ。北海道大学の研究成果を事業化し、すでに国内外複数社と技術導入の実証を進めている。 この技術は2018年に北海道大学・伊藤肇卓越教授と久保田浩司准教授が中心となって開始された研究に端を発し、7年かけて世界トップレベルまで磨き上げられた。従来法では大量の溶媒が必要だった有機合成を固相で実施することで、溶媒使用量を大幅に削減できるほか、熱や水分に弱く合成が難しかった化合物の製造も可能になる点が特長だ。コスト削減と環境負荷低減の両立を図り、脱炭素を求める化学産業のニーズに応える。 調達した資金は商用反応装置の開発と量産体制の構築、受託合成企業との協業推進に充て、2026年以降の本格市場参入を目指す。また海外展開を視野に研究開発拠点の増設やパートナーシップ拡大を進める計画だ。
