Japan Asia Investment Co., Ltd. (JAIC) was founded in 1981 by the Japan Association of Corporate Executives (Keizai Doyukai). Since its establishment, JAIC has contributed to the expansion of direct investment in Asia from Japan. Meanwhile, as a leading venture capital firm in Japan, JAIC has focused on cultivating, fostering and supporting venture companies and small and medium-sized enterprises, thereby contributing to the vitalization of the Japanese economy.

The current environment of the Japanese economy is attracting attention from overseas due to the growing importance of Japan as a production and research base against the backdrop of overcoming deflation, the depreciation of the yen, and the US-China confrontation. In particular, Asian investors are looking for investment opportunities in promising technologies, venture companies, and listed companies in Japan.

We believe that taking this opportunity will help differentiate our company from other venture capital and investment management firms. We will go back to the history of our founding and re-strengthen our relationships with institutional investors in Asia and China to play a role in connecting Asian investment capital with Japan companies.

Going forward, we will rebuild our corporate identity under the name of our company, "Japan Asia Investment" and aim for discontinuous growth as an investment company that connects Asia and Japan, in addition to expanding project investment in the healthcare field.
