Emium

Emium Corporation is a dental-tech startup that was established in November 2020 by founder and CEO Masahiko Inada. The company originated from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (now Tokyo Science University) and focuses on integrating dental care, technology, digital manufacturing, and AI to develop its services. Inada, who has a background in artificial intelligence and big data from his time at Hakuhodo Inc., founded Emium to address inefficiencies within the dental industry.

The company operates on a business-to-business model, serving dental clinics and dental laboratories. Its revenue is generated through its cloud-based software and digital production services. Emium provides a digital infrastructure for the dental field through two primary services: "Emium Cloud Dental-Tech" and the "Emium Dental Laboratory Center". "Emium Cloud Dental-Tech" is a cloud-based software that connects dental clinics with laboratories, streamlining the ordering and management of dental prosthetics through features like electronic instruction forms and chat functions. The "Emium Dental Laboratory Center" is a service for the digital design and fabrication of dental prosthetics, such as crowns, utilizing CAD/CAM technology.

The company has achieved several milestones, including securing approximately 260 million JPY in funding in December 2022 and an additional 600 million JPY in a pre-early round in March 2025, with investors like Mitsubishi UFJ Capital and DNX Ventures. Emium also actively collaborates on technological development, partnering with companies like Digital Process Ltd. to enhance its cloud-based dental CAD and AI technologies.
