Global Brain Corporation (Global Brain) and East Japan Railway Company (JR East) have agreed to jointly establish “TAKANAWA GATEWAY Global Co-Benefits Fund L.P.”

Toward the achievement of global co-benefits, JR East is supporting companies in creating business opportunities and conducting Proof of Concepts to refine and deepen their ideas by offering Takanawa Gateway City’s “LiSH” facilities and “Gateway Tech Takanawa” events for business creation. In addition to these initiatives, we have decided to establish this fund to also support the startups financially in commercializing their business, aiming to further enhance the broader startup ecosystem centered around Takanawa Gateway City.

This fund will mainly invest in environment, mobility, and healthcare sectors both in Japan and overseas, supporting the startups’ business growth together with city development partners at “Takanawa Gateway City,” the experimental site for the future.

As the General Partner of this fund, Global Brain will find promising startups, make investment decisions, and provide a wide range of support to startups which the fund invests in, striving to achieve rapid growth of the startups.
