Protecting the World’s Children

from Malaria

Every year, 400,000 people

die from malaria. Many of

those are small children

aged 5 years or younger.

Malaria is contracted by

being bitten by this

anopheline mosquito.

That is why eradicating

mosquitoes is key.

Saving

Lives

One of the most representative

examples of these products is the

Olyset® Net, which Sumitomo

Chemical developed independently,

taking inspiration from Japan’s

traditional mosquito nets.

These nets not only protect people

from being bitten by mosquitoes, but

they also gradually release

chemicals similar to those used in

mosquito coils to eradicate

mosquitoes.

It has been endorsed by the World

Health Organization (WHO).

Since production began in 2002,

around 300 million nets have been

used in more than 80 countries,

saving the lives of 560,000 people!

Sumitomo Chemical will continue to

develop innovative products as it

strives to achieve the goal of the

eradication of malaria by 2030.

(Creating up to 7,000 jobs)

That is why Sumitomo Chemical is engaged in

the development of a variety of products that will

eradicate mosquitoes that carry malaria.

Decentralized and Dispersed Arrangement

The venue design features a dispersed facility arrangement without center, using the Voronoi pattern*. It reflects the vision of future society created by harmony and co-creation which will arise from individual relations and diversity.

The main street will connect 2 entrances and 5 large plazas, which will be covered by large roofs.

＊ Voronoi pattern : a basic and repetitive geometric pattern in nature which symbolizes organic linkage and growth
