About

Hitachi Ventures is the global venture capital arm of Hitachi Group, a global industrial player active in a broad range of technology sectors. While founders are initially drawn to our vast global network through Hitachi, they tell us our true value lies in our collaborative partnership. We get that building something bold takes time, hustle, and support. We're not just investing in companies; we're backing the visionaries behind them - empowering bold ideas to break through and drive meaningful innovation. And we're in it for the long haul – offering guidance, mentorship, and resources every step of the way. Focus areas: Digital: Foundational digital technologies like AI, next-gen data, and enterprise software. Environment: Decarbonization and circular economy solutions. Industry: Industry 5.0 advancements in automation and manufacturing. Healthcare: TechBio platforms combining software and biology for precision healthcare. Other: We will explore new frontier technologies (space-tech / quantum / fusion and more). With a total of USD 1 billion AUM, we invest in early stage rounds in globally leading startups. From our offices in Munich, Germany, Boston, and Palo Alto, USA, we work tirelessly to develop close ties and effective collaboration with leading innovative technology hubs and like-minded co-investors.
