Harneys advises the DBJ-CP Group on the launch of the En Growth Fund

The En Growth Fund succeeds the 2014 En Fund, which was founded to facilitate Japanese companies' regional growth. Building on its predecessor’s accomplishments, the En Growth Fund leverages CP Group’s vast value chain and local networks to foster investment opportunities, enabling sustainable development for businesses abroad.
