FLP

Fujitsu Launchpad (FLP) is a Tokyo-based venture studio established in 2022 as a subsidiary of Fujitsu Limited. The organization functions as an institutional co-founder, building digital ventures from the ground up by providing initial capital, operational frameworks, and specialized talent in engineering, product management, and go-to-market strategy. Unlike traditional accelerators, FLP maintains a deep, hands-on role in the development of its portfolio companies, utilizing a rigorous, data-driven process to validate concepts, iterate on product-market fit, and scale solutions that address unmet needs across diverse software domains.

The venture studio serves as a strategic diversification vehicle for Fujitsu, enabling the parent company to explore new revenue streams, customer segments, and innovative business models outside of its traditional enterprise IT services. By operating with high autonomy and modern technology stacks, FLP attracts mission-focused talent to solve complex problems in environments such as IoT, AI-powered incident management, and social platforms. The studio’s impact is measured by its ability to transform raw insights into market-ready products, leveraging the global resources of its parent company while maintaining the agility of an independent startup. FLP is also an ISO/IEC 27001:2022-certified organization, emphasizing security and regulatory compliance in its operations.
