Regent Craft
Regent develops an electric boat-flying machine "seaglider" for coastal transportation.
“Regent is incredibly excited to be partnered with JAL. At first we were impressed with their industry leading stance on sustainability and future mobility, but what really stood out was their commitment to working with their portfolio companies after the investment. In only the first few months, REGENT and JAL have already been collaborating on business model investigation, ecosystem development, and marketing opportunities that have added tremendous value. We're excited not only about these opportunities in Japan, but in the full extent of JAL's global network. Could not ask for a better strategic investor and partner!”

“Regent is a company that manufactures the world's only 100% electric "flying boat" called the Seaglider. In addition to addressing sustainability through zero CO2 emissions, we see great potential in Japan, an island nation, for the Seaglider to serve as a new mode of transportation centered around port areas. This presents an opportunity for a new mobility business with a focus on the maritime environment.”
