The ANA Future Frontier Fund, established by ANA Holdings Inc. (ANAHD) in April 2024, aims to accelerate the creation of new businesses and strengthen non-aviation-related businesses to secure new revenue opportunities.

Notably, the acquisition of Axelspace HD shares marks the first investment by the ANA Future Frontier Fund.
The JGC MIRAI Innovation Fund is a Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) fund jointly managed by JGC Holdings Corporation and JGC Corporation. The fund acquired Axelspace shares to support the management of various projects that are increasingly becoming complex and advanced, and also to explore new business opportunities, aiming for the sound development of expanding space-related businesses.
TMN100, established by Fukoku Mutual Life Insurance Company (Fukoku Life), is Fukoku Life’s first CVC fund. It makes broad investments in promising startup companies without limiting its investment to specific industrial sectors.
With these three companies, Axelspace HD's unwavering commitment aims to bring our vision, “Space within Your Reach,” by utilizing its proprietary microsatellite technology.
