For Tokyo to foster more startups that can succeed on the global stage, it is essential to attract talent, entrepreneurs, and investment from around the world.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is already advancing a range of initiatives to support this goal, including SusHi Tech Tokyo, one of Asia’s largest global innovation conferences. In addition, through its Global Exchange Promotion Program, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government works with private-sector organizations to support Hireplanner's events and initiatives that bring international business professionals to Tokyo and create new opportunities for global exchange.

This Global Business Networking Program is an initiative, implemented by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, aims to promote global exchange within Tokyo's innovation ecosystem through business events, networking sessions, and salons conducted primarily in English, fostering inclusion of global businesspersons. The program seeks to establish Tokyo as a startup hub and international financial center, encouraging participation from business professionals worldwide.
