NEXTBLUE FUND Ⅱ

Asia’s first venture fund specializing in Femtech and women’s well-being.

In collaboration with startups that we connect with through our investment in NEXTBLUE FUND Ⅱ, JERA will support the development and dissemination of Femtech sector technology by, for example, having employees and their families test startup products and services. By offering diverse options to female employees, we will work to foster an environment in which they can realize their full potential.

Immaterial

Immaterial develops and produces monolithic metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) designed for the separation and storage of gas molecules.

As JERA seeks to achieve, by 2050, virtually zero CO2 emissions from their operations in Japan and overseas, it faces challenges including cost reduction of the transportation and storage of hydrogen energy and recovery technology for CO2. The MOFs developed by Immaterial have the potential to accelerate the resolution of these challenges.

Why we launch JERA-V?

There are numerous new technologies and ideas which have yet into shape. To become a partner with people yet to meet and work on the most challenging and difficult issues to the world such as decarbonaization. And then open a new world together. This is one form of continuing to realize JERA’s mission, “provide cutting edge solutions to solve the world’s energy issues”. JERA also has the “Power to accomplish on site” that has been cultivated over the years. By multiplying our power by new partner's power who have new technologies and ideas will make us to see the view that had never seen before. Because we would like to show our passion to grow together with our new partners, we launched this new brand.

Thoughts on the 3 themes

In order to take on challenges humanity has yet to overcome and provide new solutions to the world, we need three themes: decarzbonized manufacturing, customer centric channels, also human resources and culture that support them. These three are the themes JERA Ventures have set. Our thought behind these themes is all of these three themes should be combined to create new solutions, not just one of the three.Also, by adding a passion with playful spirit, we believe we can take on new challenges that never be an extension of the past without fear of failure. Of course, in the future, we would like to challenge beyond these three themes and work on social issues related to energy.

To change the world with my friends

JERA Ventures has several important values and one of them is “to believe we can change the world with technologies and ideas”, and we would like to be a partner with those people. Why don’t you conceptualize new technologies and ideas together with JERA? “Wouldn’t it be interesting to bring my idea to JERA Ventures?” We will continue to engage in making you think of it. Please keep eye on us!
