OUR MISSION
Incubate founded Incubate Coalition Japan (ICJ), as Japan represents a large and strategic opportunity to invest in new life sciences innovation. Japan has always been a leader in life science research and development. Recently, the Government of Japan placed a greater
emphasis on strengthening the life sciences innovation ecosystem. Investment in new ventures, and further developing the capital markets needed to nurture them, represents an important part of that objective. ICJ hopes to advise and guide the Government of Japan in their efforts.
