Program to Attract Overseas Companies in Collaboration with Financial Institutions

Tokyo Metropolitan Government is implementing the Program to Attract Overseas Companies in Collaboration with Financial Institutions with the aim of effectively attracting overseas companies and promoting the growth of local industries by expanding business with local companies. This initiative involves collaboration with financial institutions and other organizations that possess networks with overseas companies and expertise in foreign transactions.

Participating companies in this business matching event are overseas companies that have expanded into Tokyo through this project.

  • Financial institutions propose potential overseas companies that they would support expanding into Tokyo at the time of application.
  • The Tokyo Metropolitan Government, through a review process, selects partner financial institutions and overseas companies that these financial institutions will support in their expansion into Tokyo.
  • The financial institutions will support overseas companies in establishing operations in Tokyo for up to three fiscal years.
  • The Tokyo Metropolitan Government will subsidize a portion of the expenses related to the entry of foreign companies into Tokyo, and success fees will be paid to financial institutions based on performance.
