On January 17th 2018, UTEC had announced its fourth flagship venture fund UTEC 4. With our ¥ 15.5 billion (approx.) new capital pool, UTEC will continue to act as a mainstay for new startups founded on the basis of profound scientific research and technology. This fund has quickly expanded in size, to ¥24.25 billion (approx.) on April 30th.
The new fund will continue to run in sync with UTEC's core philosophy of “pioneering the frontiers to solve global issues of humankind, by bringing capital, talent and knowledge, around science and technology.” We have already invested in 8 startups in Japan and overseas from UTEC 4.
We sincerely express our gratitude to all of our supporters who have helped us so far in establishing "UTEC 4 Limited Partnership". We also hope that you continue to support us in our future endeavors.
