■About Impact Startup Association
Impact Startups refer to companies that aim to achieve both "solving social issues" and "sustainable growth." ISA was established on October 14, 2022, with the purpose of building an impact startup ecosystem and realizing a sustainable society.
We conduct activities to create an environment where many positive-impact startups are born and continuously grow, collaborating with government, financial, and private sectors to create a better society. Currently, there are 325 impact startup companies that resonate with the association's purpose and are active as regular members, and 15 endorsing members, including Japanese and foreign companies, who support the expansion of the impact economy. We are also recruiting secretariat staff.
Moving forward, with the support and cooperation of our regular and endorsing members, we will continue to actively work towards "solving social issues" and realizing a "sustainable society."
