INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Enhancing the Value of Japan’s Semiconductor Supply Chain by Improving the Competitiveness of Mid & Small Suppliers
Opportunity for Revival of Japan’s Semiconductor Industry
The momentum has been rising towards the revival of Japan’s semiconductor industry led by the METI’s Outline of Semiconductor Revitalization Strategy in Japan.
Construction of plants by major semiconductor manufacturers and capital investments by major SPE manufacturers / materials manufacturers are expected to promote the growth of Japan’s semiconductor supply chain as a whole.
Structural Bottleneck
However, the issue is that a big part of Japan’s semiconductor supply chain relies on mid-to-small family-owned companies and many of them are facing succession problems.
Value Enhancement through Utilization of Private Equity
Value Quest Partners contributes to the issue resolution through the following initiatives:
- Promotion of succession
- Expansion of supplier’s business size through M&A
- Improvement of profitability through optimization of organization/operations
