Announcement of ARK WAKE 2023 Event
We are pleased to inform you that ARK Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Japan Representative: Koyo Takeshita) will be hosting "ARK WAKE 2023" as outlined below.
Purpose of the Event
To all supporters of ARK:
ARK was founded in December 2020 amidst a new virus raging around the world, with the idea of "Let the Ocean Rest. Create your own." Akin to a juvenile fish, we are still navigating unsteadily in our growth process, but thanks to everyone's support, we have reached our third year.
Our business revolves around Sea,
Manufacturing, Living Creatures, and Food. To foster collaboration and discussions with you on these themes, we are organising an event titled "ARK WAKE," symbolising our journey and achievements so far.
During this occasion, we also plan to unveil our long-awaited products.
We are delighted to announce that we will be collaborating with Kumazawa Sake Brewery, established in Shonan in 1872, currently the last remaining sake brewery in the area. While we understand the venue may not be the most convenient for everyone, we believe it embodies the values ARK stands for, including
Manufacturing and Food. Kumazawa Sake Brewery exemplifies these values and is a respected entity in Shonan, making it an ideal location to showcase ARK's endeavours and aspirations.
We hope that in this unique setting, away from the usual hustle and bustle, you can join us in contemplating the future of the oceans, the environment, and our planet while enjoying a Shonan Beer in hand.
We sincerely hope you will join us for this occasion. Thank you very much for your continued support of ARK.

ARK Inc.
ARK focuses on the mission of "decentralising aquaculture" by offering a system where aquaculture can be conducted anywhere by anyone. We develop and sell small-scale, decentralised Closed Recirculating Aquaculture System (CRAS) known as "ARK," which is a land based, closed-loop aquaculture system. Unlike existing large-scale aquaculture systems, this system allows starting decentralised aquaculture with minimum investment and operation costs within the space of a single parking spot. “ARK” is capable of operating off-grid by utilising renewable energy, significantly reducing energy costs and environmental impact. In addition to these hardware solutions, ARK Inc. also plans to provide the remote management application essential for aquaculture operations, along with supplies, fry, and aquaculture expertise.
