MESSAGE

CVC is Japan's Greatest Remaining Opportunity

Corporate businesses and startups are an ideal combination, complementing each other with a wide range of management resources beyond just funding, and creating new synergies for both sides. Japan, as the world’s third-largest economy, is home to many excellent corporate companies, and by collaborating with startups, it should be possible to generate significant growth.

However, in practice, while open innovation efforts are expanding and more business companies are engaging in collaboration with startups and CVC investments, there are various hurdles that these activities face.

'FIRST CVC' brings together investment managers and leaders from companies of various industries and sizes. By sharing the creativity and innovation born from each company’s CVC activities and turning it into an asset for the entire industry, we aim to promote deeper collaboration between businesses and startups as a 'highway' for CVC activities. This will contribute to business innovation and the evolution of the startup ecosystem, ultimately driving the development of Japan's economy.
