Investment
In order to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, nations including Japan must bridge various gaps through innovation. Moreover, the innovations that will be socially implemented between 2030 and 2040 will need to scale up by 2050 to realize carbon neutrality.
Investment Areas
To achieve our goals of carbon neutrality, it is crucial to understand the four-step timeline adopted by the world’s leading regions. These steps are: decarbonization of the power network by 2035 (Step 1), decarbonization of mobility by 2040 (Step 2), and decarbonization of thermal utilization aimed for 2050 (Step 3), complemented by negative emissions (Step 4).
These steps are further enhanced by three additional foundations: region-led decarbonization, the utilization of digital transformation (DX) for decarbonization, and sector-specific decarbonization. We focus our investments on these seven areas, providing long-term, supportive partnership investments to early-stage Japanese startups and international startups collaborating with Japanese companies.
