What Science and Technology does

Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (株式会社サイエンスアンドテクノロジー) is a privately held Japanese environmental consulting firm founded on February 3, 1992, and headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, with a branch office in Showa-ku, Nagoya. The company delivers integrated environmental data services built on six mutually reinforcing technical pillars: numerical simulation, remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), information and communications technology (ICT), graphical user interface (GUI) development, and chemical risk assessment. These capabilities are operationalized through proprietary models such as the AIST-RAMTB Tokyo Bay risk assessment model and the AIST-CBAM chemical bioaccumulation model, supported by long-term satellite data archives (including ~19 years of Aqua/MODIS imagery) and a publication record spanning 1985-2025 in marine and environmental science journals.

The firm serves a customer base dominated by Japanese national research agencies and government bodies — including JOGMEC, JAMSTEC, AIST, the National Institute for Environmental Studies, NILIM, and prefecture-level fisheries research centers — supplemented by academic collaborations with Nagoya, Meijo, and Osaka City universities and a small number of fisheries industry clients. Service offerings include environmental impact assessments for deep-sea resource development (seabed hydrothermal deposits, methane hydrate, cobalt-rich crust), ecosystem and population modeling, satellite-based water quality and chlorophyll-a monitoring, ecological risk modeling, environmental DNA analysis tooling, and real-time data visualization systems. Recently, the company has begun integrating machine learning with its remote sensing pipeline for seafloor environment mapping, signaling a modest extension of its analytical toolkit.

The business operates on a professional services, quote-based revenue model, with pricing determined through direct client consultation and no publicly disclosed rate cards. The company employs 1-10 staff, generates no publicly disclosed revenue, has never raised external capital, and confines its operations to Japan's Kanto and Chubu regions. Marketing is conducted almost exclusively through academic conference participation, peer-reviewed publications, and direct institutional relationships rather than through a structured sales motion.

Products and services

• Numerical Simulation (NS) Provides numerical modeling services for water ecosystems (coastal, open ocean, deep sea, lakes) including flow fields, ecosystem material cycles, and prediction of oil spills and chemical substance fate. For government agencies and research institutions.
• Remote Sensing Technology (RST) Analyzes satellite-observed land and water surface data using remote sensing technology to visualize environmental changes in lakes and ocean areas over time and space. For environmental monitoring and research.
• GIS (Geographic Information System) Geographic Information System services for database construction, numerical analysis, and spatial analysis in natural sciences and social sciences using GIS as a core technology. For research institutions and government agencies.
• ICT (Information and Communication Technology) Website creation, database publication, real-time information display systems for meteorological, oceanographic, and bio-telemetry observation data. Custom web system development and management services.
• GUI (Graphical User Interface Development) Application development technology for visualizing analysis results through images and animations, providing analytical support tools, including Windows-based visualization software for aquatic environment evaluation models.
• Risk Assessment (RA) Quantitative assessment of risks that chemical substances released into the environment may have on human health and wildlife, comparing no-observed-effect concentrations with estimated exposure levels. Consulting and research support for chemical risk evaluation.

Direct peers

• PASCO Corporation: Japanese geospatial and satellite remote sensing firm providing GIS, aerial/satellite survey, and environmental analysis services to government and infrastructure clients. Directly comparable to Science and Technology's GIS, remote sensing, and environmental modeling offerings, though at much larger scale.
• IDEA Consultants: Japanese environmental and engineering consultancy providing environmental surveys, impact assessments, and GIS-based analysis. Comparable on environmental consulting, modeling, and public-sector clients in Japan.
• Asia Air Survey: Japanese aerial survey, GIS, and environmental consulting firm with deep public-sector and infrastructure engagements. Closely comparable on geospatial data acquisition, environmental analysis, and government-client focus, particularly in marine and coastal contexts.
• NTC Consultants: Japanese engineering and environmental consulting firm. Comparable on environmental impact assessment, water/environmental modeling, and government contract focus in Japan.
• Kokusai Kogyo: Japanese GIS, environmental consulting, and measurement services company. Comparable in remote sensing/GIS-based environmental data services, though Kokusai Kogyo also operates as a contractor for broader infrastructure projects.

Broad incumbents

• Nippon Koei: Large Japanese engineering consultancy with a dedicated environmental and marine resources group. Overlaps on environmental impact assessment and water/ecosystem modeling but operates across broader infrastructure, energy, and international development.
• Pacific Consultants: Major Japanese engineering consultancy with environmental, coastal, and marine practice areas. Comparable in environmental modeling and government contracting, but broader in scope (transportation, urban planning, overseas development).
• Chuo Kaihatsu Corporation: Japanese engineering consultancy with environmental, water, and infrastructure practice. Comparable in water/environmental consulting to public-sector clients but larger and broader in scope.
