Tokyo Metropolitan Government to Showcase Infrastructure and Cleantech Solutions at POWERGEN 2026 in Texas

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government, through the Tokyo Metropolitan Small and Medium Enterprise Support Center, will dispatch five Tokyo-based infrastructure and cleantech companies to POWERGEN 2026 in San Antonio, Texas. This initiative aims to strengthen business collaboration and foster technology exchange in critical sectors like power, water, and disaster resilience under the established regional economic cooperation framework between Tokyo and Texas.

The selected companies offer practical solutions for urgent challenges faced by U.S. utilities and engineering, procurement, and construction contractors. Nichibou Co., Ltd. specializes in fire protection systems and disaster prevention equipment, with a 24/7 maintenance framework for lifeline infrastructure and international recognition for its UL-certified erase-tube fire suppression device. Noatech Co., Ltd. provides advanced water treatment technologies using its proprietary inorganic powder coagulant, Super Namit, supporting PFAS-compliant treatment for cooling towers, industrial wastewater, and environmental remediation without hazardous substances.

Sketch Co., Ltd. develops nano-coating technologies that enhance energy efficiency and extend building lifespan, including heat-shielding window coatings and weather-resistant polyurea coatings implemented in over 1,000 Japanese facilities. System Brain Corporation offers nano-cleaning and surface protection systems for solar panels and infrastructure, reducing maintenance costs with installations like Japan's Imperial Palace. Yamaguchi Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., through its U.S. subsidiary American Katerra, LLC headquartered in San Antonio, delivers sustainable infrastructure solutions using proprietary Green Carbon Steel™ and Blue Carbon Steel™.

These technologies directly address core U.S. utility needs including power resilience, fire safety, water treatment compliance, energy efficiency, and infrastructure modernization supporting distributed energy resource expansion. The participation builds on Tokyo-Texas economic cooperation through business exchange and technology partnerships, representing a strategic step in advancing innovation in global energy and infrastructure sectors at one of the world's largest power generation exhibitions.
