About Us

To prevent pollution, human health hazards, and chemical accidents, companies need to accurately record and manage what and how much of what chemical substances are used in their products, and conduct risk assessments.

As part of this work, it is necessary to extract various data from documents called Safety Data Sheets (SDS), which are instruction manuals for chemical substances. Companies around the world spend a great deal of time and manpower on this task, and it is a tremendous hardship.

Our company, Chemican, is a startup that has developed AI-OCR software, "Chemican," which scans SDSs, automatically extracts data, and performs risk assessment.

We have already been introduced to many big companies, and we are planning to expand our business to overseas companies as well.

We are looking for members who can help us develop this product!

Portrait of a person

We are looking for someone who shares our vision of "preventing pollution, health hazards to the human body, and chemical accidents", as this is a business of high social significance.
Chemikan is based on full remote work, so we prefer someone who has the mindset and skill set to work independently.
We also look forward to working with someone who is willing to adopt the latest technological trends and absorb knowledge and experience in areas outside their own expertise.
As we are looking to expand our services overseas, those with an interest in that are also encouraged to apply!

Chemican helps companies using chemical substances to manage Safety Data Sheet (SDS) information securely and efficiently.

Their software automatically detects SDS information in PDF files and checks if they satisfy regulatory safety requirements.
