Nagase Industries' Strategic Investment in Kyoto Fusion Engineering
On October 1, 2026, Nagase Industries Co., Ltd., headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, announced a significant investment aimed at acquiring knowledge for next-generation business development. This initiative involves contributions to the "IMM Investment Japan Fund II," managed by IMM Investment Japan Co., Ltd. in Toranomon, Tokyo, which focuses on identifying novel business opportunities in the emerging field of energy.
Nagase Industries has leveraged this fund to invest indirectly in Kyoto Fusion Engineering Co., Ltd., a startup dedicated to the commercialization of fusion energy. The company is currently working on the development, design, and integration of essential systems for commercial fusion plants, positioning itself as a leading player in Japan’s growing fusion industry.
