For Investors
At PhotonPower, we assist Japanese investors in creating diversified overseas portfolios with precision and strategy. In recent years, our focus has been on Asia—particularly Taiwan, the Philippines, and Thailand—regions that share deep cultural ties with Japan and are undergoing remarkable economic growth. Despite being geographically close, these countries often present unique business practices and a regulatory landscape that may be challenging for potential investors.
At PhotonPower, trust is our cornerstone. We design investment opportunities to align with each investor’s risk tolerance and preferences, ensuring a personalized approach. With a comprehensive suite of services, we offer full-cycle support — from sourcing opportunities, managing on-site negotiations to securing project financing, partnering with local experts to design investment structures, and ensuring a smooth exit.
For Partners
We pride ourselves on honoring our commitments and delivering reliable execution—a core value we uphold. While Japanese funds are often regarded as cautious decision-makers, we ensure agility and flexibility through comprehensive pre-alignment. Our track record has proven our capability to act swiftly and efficiently while delivering consistent results.
We prioritize fostering long-term, mutually beneficial relationships chasing short-term results. Our “fishing and solar coexistence” project in Taiwan is a perfect example of the innovation made possible by our unique approach. Our investment approach is highly flexible, accommodating both majority and minority positions while offering capital through equity or debt. By leveraging the competitive funding costs of Japanese investors, we consistently deliver pricing advantages to our partners. Let’s collaborate to drive Asia’s growth and create lasting success.
