MIRAI-LABO Co., Ltd. (Mirai-Labo, ＭＩＲＡＩ－ＬＡＢＯ株式会社) is a privately held Japanese environmental technology manufacturer founded on April 6, 2006 and headquartered in Hachioji, Tokyo. The company designs, manufactures, and sells proprietary energy and lighting products centered on carbon neutrality and circular-economy themes, including the X-teraso rechargeable LED floodlight, G-CROSS refillable battery generator, TRACE-2000A forensic flashlight, and the THE REBORN LIGHT series of autonomous solar streetlights using repurposed EV batteries. Its underlying technology stack comprises a patented High-Efficiency Reflector optical system, a constant-current LED drive circuit, the MBMS (Multiple Battery Management System) for seamless mixed-battery switching, an EV battery degradation diagnosis service using proprietary impedance measurement, and Solar Mobiway road-surface solar panels rated for 40-ton vehicle loads. The company operates an automatic diagnosis line capable of processing 10,000 EV battery modules per year.

The business model combines hardware sales (one-time purchase or subscription for G-CROSS and X-teraso), EV repurposed battery products and grading services, solar road-surface power generation systems, and a B2B circular-economy marketplace (Energy Loop Terminal, jointly operated with Aucnet) for trading repurposed EV batteries and products. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting Japanese government (Ministry of Defense, National Police Agency, METI, prefectural and municipal governments) and large enterprise customers (JR East, KDDI, Bridgestone, Chuo Logistics, Netz Toyota), supplemented by website-based inquiry sales and partner distribution (Aucnet, Tokyo Century, Senko Group, Yamabiko, Nihon Parking, Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance). Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company is financed through capital business partnerships with seven corporate investors across automotive, energy, logistics, leasing, parking, and insurance sectors.

The company employs 36 people as of its most recent disclosure and reported ¥1,204 million in stated capital as of October 31, 2023. Recognitions include the Japan Resilience Award 2025 Grand Prize, the 23rd Tama Blue Green Award Grand Prize (2025), Tokyo First Customer Alliance certification, and Japan Venture Awards 2022 SDGs Special Prize. Key 2024-2025 milestones include relocation to a new headquarters in April 2024, launch of THE REBORN LIGHT smart and Energy Loop Terminal pre-orders in 2024, and launch of the joint automatic EV battery degradation diagnosis line with Aucnet in July 2025.
