JU-CAT is a bilateral collaboration scheme matching the UAE, where innovations and fostering young talent are important policy goals for future society, with Japanese startups striving to develop global business through innovative technologies. UMI serves as coordinator in Japan for JU-CAT and plays a role in clarifying investment needs in the UAE, seeking out promising Japanese startups that meet those needs, and introducing those startups to the UAE.
