The fund is projected to reach a size of 150 billion yen by the end of March, and DBJ will consider doubling that figure, depending on performance, after the start of the next fiscal year.
DBJ will provide mezzanine loans, preferred shares and other forms of risk money through the fund to firms taking initiatives to promote innovation or enhance corporate value. Eligible projects are described in the examples below.
