SIIFIC Featured in Oxford Saïd Business School Case Study Series
SIIF Impact Capital, Inc. (“SIIFIC”) has been featured in the “Building Japan’s Impact Economy Case Series”, developed by the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at Oxford Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. The series explores the development of Japan’s impact investing ecosystem and highlights initiatives that are contributing to the growth of the country’s emerging impact economy.
Designed as an educational and research resource, the case series examines how capital can play a constructive role in addressing complex societal challenges while generating sustainable value. Drawing on perspectives from both researchers and practitioners, the cases consider the evolution of impact investing in Japan within the context of the country’s demographic transition, regional economic transformation, and environmental challenges.
The series is expected to be used within the Oxford Impact Investing Programme, an executive education programme offered by Oxford Saïd Business School. Through case-based learning, participants from around the world—including investors, policymakers, and practitioners—engage with real-world experiences of impact investing and ecosystem development.
SIIFIC is a venture capital firm dedicated to impact investing, with a particular focus on healthcare and wellness. Through investments in innovative startups, the firm seeks to address pressing social challenges while supporting the creation of sustainable economic value. As impact investing continues to evolve in Japan, venture capital is increasingly recognised as an important catalyst for innovation and market creation. The SIIFIC case illustrates one example of how impact-oriented venture investment can contribute to the development of Japan’s broader impact economy.
Reiri Miura, Co-Founder & Representative Partner of SIIFIC, is also an alumna of the Oxford Impact Investing Programme at Oxford Saïd Business School. Her journey into impact investing and the work of SIIFIC have been featured on the school’s website, reflecting her commitment to connecting investment practice with tangible social impact. Through the programme, she engaged with investors and practitioners from across the world, exploring how capital can be mobilised to support positive societal change.
SIIFIC will continue to advance its mission—“Powerful Capital Positive Change”—by working with entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, and policymakers to share insights from Japan’s evolving impact investing ecosystem with the global community.
