  • SINGAPORE

    Dr. Tomita, CEO of CVC JAPAN, has experienced working in Japan-Asia Investment (semi-governmental VC, OECF: Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund), and has kept contacts with Singapore. Currently, we have made business alliance with the consulting firm managed by his former colleagues and have already built an investment base. Singapore has completely imported the developed American style venture ecosystem, led by the central government. Because the National University of Singapore is rapidly upgrading, many promising startups have emerged. To them, we can approach them as the only active Japanese CVC in Singapore.

  • TOKYO

    Tokyo continues to be the home base of CVC JAPAN. For that reason, we have relations with 4000 companies. Additionally, Dr. Tomita, CEO of CVC JAPAN acts as a professor at the Graduate School of Business Administration at Rikkyo University. He also presents many lectures at business seminars, for example those managed by “Nikkei Business”. Steadily we will look for promising startups and try to establish our own routes to discover new investment opportunities.

  • AUSTRALIA

    Australia is blessed with abundant resources, and the provincial government and the federal government have enriched startup support, and innovative ideas are born in various fields such as IT, healthcare, and AgriTech. This is an increase in the number of startups that are engaged in research and development by partnerships with local universities. Recently, some of the Japanese companies tried to access to them. The east coast of Australia is attracting attention as the Silicon Valley of the southern hemisphere.

  • SAN DIEGO(CALIFORNIA)

    Dr. Tomita, CEO of CVC JAPAN, servesd as a research fellow at the University of California, San Diego. He belongs to several San Diego angel investor networks as the sole Japanese member. Silicon Valley is more famous and popular as an agglomeration area, but there is too much heated competition, and it is difficult to enter the inner circles. On the other hand, as an attractive investment area, San Diego is vibrant in both quality and quantity, including cyber security, AI, IoT, and robotics. CVC JAPAN has a close network with several powerful incubators, and it is possible to invest in promising startups in early stages at a low stock price or special financial tools related to convertible note. CVC JAPAN is one of the most active CVCs in San Diego.

  • WALES

    Cardiff University is located in the capital city of Wales in the United Kingdom, and in a few years, a new innovation center will be built. Cardiff is not well known to the Japanese, but it is about 2.5 hours by train from London. The research level of Cardiff University is of an exceptionally high level, but the number of investors is small. Therefore, it is expected to become an attractive investment area.

We sincerely look forward to your inquiries.
