ARLINGTON,Va.,May 24,2022 --America's Frontier Fund("AFF"),a non-profit deep-tech investment fund,announced today that it will lead the Quad Investor Network (QIN),a new initiative that aims to bring together leading technology investors,executives and founders from four democratic nations to strengthen cooperation and joint investment into emerging technologies and supply chain infrastructure.

Governments participating in the May 24 Quadrilateral Security Dialogue,a strategic endeavor between Japan,India,Australia,and the United States,jointly welcomed opportunities to expand capital for critical and emerging technology investments across the Quad.
