Sojitz Corporation (“Sojitz”) has signed a contract to invest in “Continuum I”, a venture fund operated by venture capital firm 3one4 Capital Advisors LLP (Head Office: Bengaluru; Representative Director: Pranav Pai and Siddarth Pai; “3one4 Capital”) based in Bengaluru, India.

Through this investment in 3one4’s venture fund, Sojitz aims to obtain a broad range of information on market trends and promising start-ups with innovative AI and IoT technologies. Sojitz hopes to use this information to create new business in some of the industries in which it is already involved, using Sojitz’s wide-ranging network and broad knowledge base. Additionally, Sojitz aspires to use information from Continuum I to enter unexplored business areas as well, to create new value.

At the same time, Sojitz plans to open a Bengaluru office in Karnataka, India by April 2019.

Sojitz will partner with some of these start-ups to create new business geared towards the Indian and overseas markets.
