Digital Climate Group, which provides a new impact investment platform through AI and blockchain technology, has announced a partnership with RUTILEA Inc., a Japanese AI startup working on AI cloud and vertical AI businesses. Through this collaboration, the two companies will use the power of AI to expand the impact investment market in Japan.
Digital Climate Group (DCG) has a mission to accelerate green finance through the power of technology. Through its platform utilizing AI and blockchain technology, DCG supports the financing of companies and projects that contribute to global sustainability, while providing economic as well as social returns to investors around the world, primarily in Asia and the Middle East.
Until now, there has been no financing for small and medium-sized projects in the field of impact investment, and the gap between demand and supply of funds has been widening. In addition, as exemplified by the term “greenwashing,” investors have strong concerns about the measurement of impact, and building a transparent financing scheme has been a challenge.

By utilizing AI to digitize its impact investment platform, DCG has minimized the costs associated with issuing securities and made it possible to finance small- to medium-sized projects. By adopting blockchain technology, DCG has also made it possible to visualize the impact that is returned to investors.
There are many excellent projects in Japan that are conducive to impact investment, and they are attracting attention from many overseas investors. Through this collaboration, DCG’s solutions will enable RUTILEA to raise debt from overseas for its projects, including storage batteries, accelerating both companies’ efforts toward a sustainable world. Through this partnership, DCG and RUTILEA will strengthen their collaboration in finance in the field of impact investment while creating business opportunities in Asia and the Middle East.
