We will invest in and support startups nationwide aiming to solve regional challenges, contributing to the creation of new industries and the development of existing ones.


Challenges we want to solve through co-creation：
Solving common regional challenges and creating new industries

Regional challenges are common across communities nationwide. These include crises in local transportation and logistics (mobility) caused by population decline and aging, difficulties in maintaining medical and social infrastructure, and shortages of workers in food production (agri-food). We view these mounting "common regional challenges" as a source of innovation. We will harness cutting-edge technology to devise solutions and co-create next-generation industries.

The Technology We Seek in Startups
① Solutions directly addressing regional challenges
→ Concrete technologies resolving critical regional issues in healthcare, infrastructure, primary industries, etc.
(Examples: Healthcare DX / Agricultural automation / Public infrastructure maintenance / Regional logistics / Aquaculture / Education DX, etc.)


② World-Class Deep Tech
→ Innovative technologies that implement university/research institute knowledge into society and open up global markets.
(Examples: AI Robotics / Regenerative Medicine / New Materials / Decarbonization, etc.)


③ DX Transforming Industrial Structures
→ Business models that collaborate with existing industries like manufacturing to create new added value and commercial flows.
(Examples: Manufacturing DX / Construction Tech / Supply Chain Reform, etc.

Examples of Co-Creation Ideas

①【Collaboration】 Social Implementation through Municipal Partnerships
→ Conduct rapid Proof of Concept (PoC) in municipal fields by collaborating with local governments, implementing verification tests utilizing public roads and facilities. Overcome regulatory barriers to accelerate the social implementation of services.

②【Business Development】 Business Development Leveraging Regional Industrial Assets
→ Utilize the customer bases and data of companies (manufacturing, logistics, infrastructure, etc.) to gain traction (track record) and refine the product.

Available resources

①【Funding】Providing seed funding to startups
→ We invest in startups from seed to mid-stage.

②【Collaboration】Leveraging networks of regional companies, financial institutions, and local governments nationwide
→ Through partnerships with operating companies (including our independently hosted CVC network), financial institutions, and local governments, we provide access to proof-of-concept (PoC) testing grounds and customer bases.

③【Support】Hands-on guidance from experienced capitalists
→We provide end-to-end support from business strategy to organizational development, led by professionals with backgrounds in major VCs, global tech companies, corporate entities, consulting firms, startups, and audit firms.
