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

The world today is undergoing a new paradigm shift. Rising geopolitical risks are prompting a reassessment of globalization, while the implementation of frontier AI and quantum computing has the potential to fundamentally transform our economies and societies.
Against this backdrop, our mission is to elevate Japan’s cycle of risk capital and growth investment to the next stage in order to strengthen Japan’s industrial competitiveness. To nurture companies that lead the world and support Japan, it is essential that diverse teams unite under a shared purpose and harness both collective intelligence and tacit knowledge as an organization.
At JIC, we are united by our mission: “Investing in the future, opening up Japan,” and are moving forward to fulfill our role.
