Vision 2030 Fund Secures Partnerships in Japan

Tokyo, Japan 🇯🇵 – Vision 2030 Fund Meets HIRAC with the Ministry of Industry and Development of SMEs of the DRC

Hosted at HIRAC FUND｜Money Forward Venture Partners, Inc.

The Vision 2030 Fund announces a strategic meeting in Tokyo between our Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Denis Pastory Rubanga, and H.E. Louis Watum Kabamba, Minister of Industry and Development of SMEs of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The session was further enriched by the participation of Reuben Lai, Chief Executive Officer of Arkadiah Technology.

During this high-level exchange, Dr. Pastory presented the Pastory Index, Vision 2030 Fund’s flagship data-driven decision-making tool designed to strengthen Africa’s capacity for investment readiness and sustainable development planning.

Together, the founders committed to developing a cutting-edge technology solution that will empower the Democratic Republic of Congo to raise capital through world-class geospatial mapping services.

With smart venture capital and cross-sector expertise, this partnership will pilot an agri-industry transformation initiative designed to:

• Monetise national forestry resources through access to carbon credit markets.

• Enable countries to track flora inventories with over 99% precision and species-level detail.

• Measure costs, inputs, wastage, and leakage associated with managing biodiversity.

• Identify and resolve value chain inefficiencies faced by local communities interacting with plant life.

This ambitious innovation received the full endorsement of Mr. Mike Luntadila Koketua, Chairman of the DRC National Chamber of Commerce and Economy, and Mr. Marc Watum, Chairman of the Vision 2030 Fund. Both leaders committed their resources and networks in support of the expert team developing the solution.

Together, Vision 2030 Fund is implementing a robust development plan to finance this program, including HIRAC Fund as a fundraising and business development ally. This initiative offers the Japanese VC bilateral sectoral opportunities for their existing portfolio companies, who will be able to participate in creating sustainable sectoral linkages—ensuring that it will flourish through and beyond its pilot phase.
