The Real Tech Global Fund aims to build an ecosystem to support deep tech startups in Southeast Asia to solve the deep global challenges facing humanity.
The Global 1 Fund, established in May 2020, has been implementing a number of Japan-Southeast Asia connection projects under the theme of connecting Japan and Southeast Asia, including establishing Japanese subsidiaries of portfolio companies, promoting joint research, business alliances, and investments between portfolio companies and Japanese business companies, and developing human resources through secondment programs. In 2021, SEEDs Capital, a Singaporean government fund, and in 2023, Startup Venture Fund, a Philippine government fund, recognized us as co-investment partners for the first time as a Japanese-affiliated fund, respectively.

In addition, the Global Fund No. 2, in which Yamada Shokai HD has made an LP investment, aims to further strengthen the deep tech ecosystem in Southeast Asia, create examples of collaboration between the portfolio companies and regional and major Japanese companies, and build a cross-border support system between Southeast Asia and Japan.

Through this investment in the Global Fund, we will expand our knowledge and network in Southeast Asia related to deep tech, discover local deep issues, search for technologies to solve them, promote joint research and development, demonstrate business models, and develop new businesses that will contribute to the development of Japan and Southeast Asia. We will develop new businesses that contribute to the development of Japan and Southeast Asia.
