We are pleased to announce that digzyme has joined the Impact Startup Association (ISA) as a regular member in its fifth term.

About the Impact Startup Association

Impact startups are companies that strive to achieve a balance between "addressing societal challenges" and "sustainable growth."
ISA was established on October 14, 2022, with the aim of building an ecosystem for impact startups and realizing a sustainable society.

Collaborating with government, businesses, and financial institutions, ISA seeks to create an environment where startups delivering positive societal impacts can emerge and grow continuously. Its activities are based on four pillars: “Sharing,” “Formation,” “Advocacy,” and “Dissemination.”

As of now, ISA comprises 206 impact startups as regular members who share the association's purpose, alongside 10 supporting members, including both Japanese and international companies, who endorse ISA’s mission to expand the impact economy.
