Notable investment cases include Starlux Airlines (2646), Fusheng Applied Technology (6670), Shangpin Integrated Industry (4770), Fanchuan Technology (6830), and Hengtai Optics (6747).

Leveraging the deep experience of its major shareholder, the Nenglu Group, in Japanese business exchanges, Nenglu Asia has successfully assisted Japanese companies in developing in Taiwan and promoted Taiwan-Japan business cooperation. For instance, Nenglu Asia facilitated the merger between the Nenglu Group and Japanese automotive parts manufacturer Daiichi Kasei Co., Ltd., and listed Daiichi Kasei Holdings (IKKA-KY: 2250) in Taiwan, setting a precedent for Japanese companies listed in Taiwan.
Expanding International Layout and Strategic Cooperation
In line with the trends in AI and robotics, Nenglu Asia has recently formed a strategic partnership with Wistron Corporation, a major Microsoft Azure partner in Taiwan with the backing of Wistron and Chunghwa Telecom. The company focuses on cloud services in the finance, healthcare, and 5G communication sectors. This collaboration aims to help portfolio companies successfully achieve their digital transformation goals.
Furthermore, Nenglu Asia has participated in the investment of Zhibao International, a Japanese animation and IP development company. Supported by the Cultural and Creative Industries Agency and Taiwan Mobile, the company collaborates with MediaTek to develop AI creation technology, addressing the labor shortage in film production and animation development. Nenglu Asia is also evaluating several AI and robotics companies in Japan and the United States, planning to introduce them to Taiwanese AI companies to expand bilateral business and investment opportunities.
To be closer to the source of technology, Nenglu Asia is actively planning to establish offices in the United States and Japan. This will enable the company to quickly grasp industry trends, discover emerging investment opportunities, and further strengthen its influence in the high-tech industry. With a mission of innovation and industrial transformation, Nenglu Asia is committed to becoming a leading venture capital firm focused on AI and sustainable development in the Taiwan and Asian markets.
