The Japan Investment Corporation (JIC) was established in September 2018 under the Industrial Competitiveness Enhancement Act. When the same law was revised in June 2024, JIC’s operations were extended until the end of March 2050.

JIC makes investments based on the Investment Criteria* specified by the act. To provide risk capital to priority investment fields, we promote open innovation in Japan through fund formation, and contribute to strengthening the competitiveness of Japanese industries and expanding the country’s investment ecosystem.

Top message

Today, innovation is happening globally at an accelerated pace and catalyzing competitions and business restructuring which transcend traditional industrial and organizational boundaries. As a result, we are facing a dynamic change in the competitive landscape and the structure of industry.
As such, it has become an important policy issue for Japan to resolve social issues and strengthen industrial competitiveness by creating new industries and promoting restructuring of industries.
We, Japan Investment Corporation, provide risk capital to sectors in which most private investors are reluctant to invest. We aim to promote transition of businesses and industries while strengthening international competitiveness. At the same time, we make efforts to foster human resources in fund management in order to develop the investment ecosystem.
