From the perspective of driving the creation of new businesses for Society 5.0, a supply of long-term, large-scale risk capital is required for social implementation of technologies related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, such as AI, IoT, and robotics, as well as for business fields that can be globally competitive, such as mobility, space, materials, and electronic devices.
However, startups in new industrial fields and deep tech startups with the potential to become the nucleus of next-generation industries require time to commercialize and expand their businesses. Creating significant new markets from outstanding science and technology demands comprehensive support for the growth of startups in the deep tech field in order to create new industries.
Against this backdrop, VGF2 will collaborate with private funds in which JIC has an equity stake to invest in deep tech, providing comprehensive support from early stage to exit strategy to eliminate gaps between investment stages and promote the emergence of next-generation industries.
