We were honored to be invited by Hitachi to serve on the distinguished judging panel for their inaugural Green Fintech Hackathon, launched at the Japan Fintech Festival 2025.

‍

Hitachi plays a pivotal role as a catalyst for digital transformation and innovation across Japan—from IoT integration in buildings to mission-critical banking systems. As Japan advances its carbon markets and green finance initiatives, especially with the upcoming compulsory GX ETS carbon market starting April 2026, Hitachi is set to become an increasingly vital hub in global green finance flows and digital traceability.

At Arukah, we congratulate the winners and are delighted to have had the privilege to contribute to Hitachi's new anchor investment to nurture and collaborate with the emerging climate ecosystem worldwide—poised to increasingly intersect with Japanese corporates and financial markets in the coming years.
