Our Mission

The semiconductor industry is now facing an unprecedented inflection point driven by the rapid adoption and expansion of AI applications.

Addressing challenges such as miniaturization, power efficiency, advanced packaging, and environmental impact requires innovative deep tech, not simply extensions of existing approaches.

Silicon Catalyst Japan is a new platform that nurtures startups originating in Japan and Asia, accelerating their path to commercialization and practical application.

By working closely with Silicon Catalyst teams in the U.S. and other regions, and leveraging our already established global network, we promote technology adoption from a truly international perspective.

Our Values

Why Silicon Catalyst Japan is chosen

Global Network × Local Expertise in Japan and Asia

Silicon Catalyst Japan combines a global network centered in the U.S. with deep expertise rooted in the Japanese and Asian markets.

For startups, growth is limited if confined to the domestic market. True scaling requires overseas expansion. We provide hands-on support from R&D and business development to customer acquisition and international rollout, leveraging proven global startup support frameworks.

While understanding the unique challenges of Japan and Asia, we deliver support that is always oriented toward global success.

Semiconductor & Deep Tech–Focused Incubation

We are the world’s only incubator exclusively dedicated to semiconductors and deep tech.

For startups and corporate spinouts, we provide wide-ranging support including business development facilitation, fundraising assistance, and expert matching.

Beyond technical support, we connect startups with experienced founders, executives, and industry specialists, empowering breakthrough technologies to succeed in the global market.

Our Business

Through a unique selection process, we carefully choose startups to support and provide comprehensive assistance—from R&D and customer development to fundraising, business growth, and international expansion.

Our revenue model is not based on consulting fees from startups. Instead, it is built on sponsorships from strategic partner companies, allowing us to minimize the financial burden on startups and enable sustainable growth.

For sponsor companies, we provide not only access to startup information but also added value such as acquisition support and financial advisory, creating mutual benefits.

Startup Incubation

The world’s only　semiconductor and deep tech–focused incubation platform. We select promising startups through unique criteria and support their business development and global expansion.

Corporate Spinout Support

We discover technologies from large enterprises and research institutions, expand their applications, and drive commercialization and global implementation.

Partner Support

For sponsor companies, we provide startup intelligence, as well as advisory services in M&A and financial strategy to accelerate business growth.

Our model is based on sponsorship from strategic partners rather than consulting fees from startups, ensuring truly value-driven support.
