Investing in the Future
"Uniting the World in Wonder"
HISTORY
The ANA Group was founded in 1952 as a small venture company with just two helicopters.
Rooted in a spirit of venture—essentially, a commitment to "challenges"—the ANA Group has maintained a tradition of embracing challenges throughout its history.
With the establishment of the ANA Future Frontier Fund in April 2024, we aim to expand new possibilities by merging the entrepreneurial mindset that has been cultivated within the ANA Group with the agility of a startup.
VISION
To commemorate our 70th anniversary and realize our renewed management vision of "Creating a world filled with excitement," ANA is working to expand our business domains. We are broadening our focus from aviation to next-generation mobility, from the extraordinary to the everyday, and from the real to the virtual, fostering diverse connections that originate in the sky.
Through the development of the ANA Future Frontier Fund, we aim to further expand our business scope by leveraging open innovation to connect knowledge and technologies both within and beyond the ANA Group, across countries and industries. In doing so, we will deliver new value to our customers and society.
FUND
We aim to foster startups' growth while driving our own development and co-creating new value.
