Where have Google and Honda invested in fusion? Explore FI’s new investor database

Google, Honda and Japan’s trading houses: which fusion companies have they invested in? FUSION INDUSTRY has launched an investor database and funding-news section on its business page. Start with an investor’s name, explore its portfolio and follow the published sources behind each relationship. As checked on November 3, the feature lists 264 investors and 71 funding-news entries.

Search for Honda in the investor database, then open nT-Tao among its investments. You can examine the investment relationship and its supporting source. It is a way to move beyond a familiar corporate name and ask what the recipient company is developing and who is financing it.

Individual investment amounts are shown where publicly disclosed. A funding round’s total, contributed by multiple investors, is different from the amount invested by one participant. Honda’s individual investment amount is undisclosed; such amounts are not filled in with estimates.

Categories for Japanese general trading houses, manufacturers and financial institutions help you examine investments by sector. Use the investor-list sorting options to begin with companies relevant to your work.

Manufacturers and trading houses can identify participating companies and co-investors. Finance and business-development professionals can use the information as a starting point for researching potential investments or preparing questions before a meeting. An investment relationship alone does not establish a supply contract or partnership: follow the official sources to understand the scope.

Switch between Japanese and overseas funding news. Explore leading fundraisers and recent large funding announcements, then follow company funding histories, published FI company explainers and official announcements. The aim is to place an individual announcement within a company’s broader financing history.

Amounts are primarily displayed in Japanese yen. Foreign-currency amounts converted into yen are reference values calculated at a baseline exchange rate, not necessarily the rate at the transaction date or the amount an individual investor paid.

The feature is currently offered in Japanese. It organizes public information and sources, does not cover every investment, and is not yet connected to automatic updates of production data. Start by entering one company you know and discover the fusion companies behind its investments.
