Our Strategy

UMI Inc. is an industry front runner focused on crafting a metaverse platform using the leverage inherent in global capital market financial instruments. Our financings are enhanced with UMI’s managerial overlay to provide a networked ecosystem for global entrepreneurs

Our Focus

We deliver returns for our investors by listing
late-stage, high quality private companies on the global capital markets and integrating them into a larger listed technology platform holding company.

uMi partners with technology visionaries and investment innovators to provide sponsor capital, managerial expertise, global deal flow and access to institutional investors.

We enable investors to participate in the dual leverage that comes from innovative sponsor capital economics and the exponential growth of the metaverse space

Metaverse

We believe macro forces could translate into large opportunities for Japan’s web3 sector in the huge growth markets of ASEAN.

Markets around the world are at different levels of technical development and have distinct focal points in innovation; strategic interplay across multiple regions provides an advantage in selecting target companies and target markets.

Major investment banks are estimating that by 2030, the metaverse will generate over $1 trillion in economic activity

ESG

We also focus on targets with disruptive technologies that decarbonize the most carbon-intensive sectors of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. These technologies predominate in Japan and can be applied across all of Asia.

The global decarbonization technology market, especially in the field of mobility, is estimated to be approximately $550 billion
