What you get

Four things, done consistently every day

Coverage the headlines miss

Large-cap capex makes the English-language press. The mid-cap and regional deals — the ones that often move a stock or open a sales opportunity first — mostly don't. JScope covers them daily.

Structured, not just translated

Every entry carries the same investor-grade fields: company, ticker, sector, theme tags, location, investment amount, and construction phase. Compare projects, don't just read about them.

Search the way you work

Slice the database by region (where the money is landing), sector (semiconductors to food processing), or cross-cutting theme (AI infrastructure, EV batteries, reshoring).

English first, same day

The collection pipeline runs four times a day in Japan time, so announcements reach you in English while they're still news — not weeks later, if ever.

Who it's for

Built for readers who act on capex information

Global equity investors

Capex announcements are leading indicators. Catch capacity expansions, new fabs and battery plants while they're still just a local announcement — before they show up in earnings.

Equipment & materials vendors

A new plant is a new customer. Know where construction is starting, who the contractor is, and what the site will need — before your competitors do.

Analysts & consultants

One consistent, citable, English-language database instead of dozens of scattered Japanese-language sites. Export what you need and drop it straight into your work.

About JScope

Who's behind it and why it exists

JScope reads the paperwork so you don't have to.

Japan is in the middle of a capex supercycle — semiconductors, data centers, EVs, power infrastructure. Large-cap stories make it into the English-language press. The mid-cap and regional deals — the ones that often move a stock or open a business opportunity long before the headline does — mostly don't. JScope exists to close that gap: one English-language record of Japan's capital-expenditure projects, covering the deals nobody else is translating.

Who's behind it

JScope is built and run by a single Japan-based individual investor and developer, not a media company or a data vendor. That means the coverage decisions, the taxonomy, and the quality bar are all made by one person who reads every entry before it goes out — not an anonymous pipeline.
