Turn Japan's capex moves into your next opportunity
JScope is a structured English-language database of Japanese capital-expenditure projects — new factories, fabs, data centers and power plants — updated daily and built for people who act on this information.
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.
