Collaboration Between Space Seed Holdings and NAS

On August 21, 2025, Space Seed Holdings Inc. (based in Minato, Tokyo, led by CEO Kengo Suzuki) officially visited the Asosiasi Nazhir Indonesia (ANI) in Jakarta, Indonesia. The primary agenda was to engage in discussions about possible collaboration in the agricultural and health sectors through the utilization of Wakaf assets.

During this significant meeting, CEO Kengo Suzuki and Ananda Setiyo Ibanant, CEO of PT Awina, were graciously welcomed by Imam Nur Aziz, the President of ANI. This meeting not only marked a crucial starting point for future discussions but also highlighted the shared interest in leveraging advanced Japanese technology and capital alongside Indonesia’s Wakaf assets.

Understanding Wakaf and CWLS

What is Wakaf?

Wakaf is a system that bears resemblance to 'donations' or 'trusts' in Islamic culture. It involves providing land, buildings, or funds for social or community benefit, aiming to utilize the generated revenues for public good. This system is widely employed across various fields, including education, healthcare, and agriculture, thus contributing to building a robust societal foundation.

What is CWLS?

CWLS, short for Cash Wakaf Linked Sukuk, is a financing scheme introduced by the Indonesian government. It combines 'cash Wakaf' with Islamic bonds (Sukuk). Under this scheme, Wakaf funds, which are rooted in faith-based donations, are invested through government-issued Sukuk, channeling profits back into social contribution projects such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure. This innovative model enables the coexistence of social significance and economic sustainability.

Key Discussion Topics

The discussions during the visit revolved around the potential fusion of Japanese cutting-edge technology with Indonesia's Wakaf assets, particularly focusing on enhancing agricultural productivity and exploring joint ventures in health food and healthcare sectors. This meeting served as an initial face-to-face introduction that set the stage for ongoing, in-depth discussions regarding specific business models and investment frameworks in the future.

Space Seed Holdings aims to collaborate with ANI and other related Indonesian entities to explore new cooperative models aimed at improving the efficiency and high value-added production of primary agricultural products. This includes palm sugar, longan, coffee, cacao, and seaweed, ultimately striving to achieve both social and economic value.
