Frequently asked questions
Which technology sectors does TUSIC focus on?
TUSIC targets deep-tech sectors aligned with Tokyo University of Science's core research strengths, including advanced materials, precision manufacturing, industrial automation, AI and machine-learning applications, and life-science instrumentation. Its sector focus favors hardware-heavy, patent-defensible technologies over pure software or consumer internet plays.
How does TUSIC differ from other Japanese university venture funds like UTokyo IPC?
While UTokyo IPC draws on the prestige and broad research base of Japan's top-ranked public university, TUSIC is anchored to an institution historically oriented toward applied industrial science and engineering. This gives TUSIC a pipeline weighted toward manufacturable, capital-efficient technology companies rather than the biotech and platform software plays that dominate other university venture portfolios in Japan.
