What OmCon does
OmCon (株式会社オムニア・コンチェルト) is a Tokyo-based ag-tech company founded in March 2021 that develops, manufactures, and sells environmental integrated control panels for agriculture, forestry, and fisheries applications. The company's technology centers on CO2 local application — the precise delivery of carbon dioxide at controlled flow rates to localized zones inside greenhouses — delivered through its Concerto controller family (OCES-200S, OCES-400, and OCES-1000). The flagship OCES-1000 Concerto integrates CO2 dosing, water, air volume, windows, curtains, LED lighting, pH regulators, and air conditioning for up to 10 greenhouses with 6 independently controlled areas each, and pairs with the Sfumato 3D web-based remote monitoring system. Adjacent products include the Saezuri wooden greenhouse control system (2026 dual-award recipient), year-round shiitake mushroom cultivation systems, vertical hydroponic units, agricultural LEDs, monitoring cameras, and specialized strawberry soil.
The company operates two business lines: (1) control-panel development, manufacture, and sales (including hardware, software, and customization services), and (2) contract R&D for agricultural and forestry technology — covering microcontroller-based devices, sensor systems, vertical hydroponics, and wooden greenhouses for corporate, research, and government clients. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales with multi-year service relationships, custom engineering fees, and complementary accessory products. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales supplemented by trade-show presence (GPEC, J-AGRI, AGTS, SusHi Tech Challenge) and catalog-download lead capture.
Named customers span agricultural corporations (Mos Farm Sungrace, Chuden Wing via its farm subsidiary), government and national research bodies (Forest Research and Tree Breeding Center; Nakagusuku Village Aquaculture Technology Research Center), and corporate R&D partners including Sumitomo Osaka Cement, with which OmCon runs a BECCS carbon-capture seedling demonstration. The company holds affiliations with Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (JST OPERA co-creation platform) and Ryukoku University (land-based aquaculture). Stated capital is ¥150,445,000 (January 2026), with two 2023 funding rounds totaling approximately ¥3.38M in disclosed amounts including Iwatani Corporation as a named strategic investor. The company is private, headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, with an R&D facility (Hachioji LABO) opened in 2024, and currently operates only within Japan.
