Investment thesis
Daiwa House Ventures operates as the CVC arm of Daiwa House Industry, aiming to support the sustainable development of the housing, construction, and real estate sectors while addressing medium- to long-term social challenges. It invests across a broad range of areas guided by six themes: adapting to a diversified society (sharing economy, age-tech, reskilling, fintech, insurtech, content), intensifying competition through big data (LLMs, blockchain, security, platforms), AI-driven business transformation (generative and predictive AI, analytics), connectedness of people/things (IoT, drones, neurotech, MaaS, smart homes), automation and efficiency via DX (3D printing, construction tech, factory automation, logistics DX, robotics, proptech), and sustainability/green transformation (renewable energy, VPP, CCUS, carbon management, batteries). It acts as a bridge between startups and the group's operating companies.
