Technology remains one of the most attractive sectors for private equity and venture capital in Tokyo. Japan’s reputation as a leader in robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and electronics continues to draw investors. Tokyo’s startup ecosystem is also gaining attention, producing innovative companies in areas like blockchain, machine learning, and software as a service (SaaS). VC firms are particularly focused on early-stage companies in AI, fintech, and IoT (Internet of Things) technologies, with companies like Preferred Networks and fintech startups such as Finatext and Money Forward drawing significant investment. Private equity investors, on the other hand, are targeting mid-sized tech companies that show promise for global expansion or strategic partnerships. Many of these companies offer opportunities for operational improvements, governance enhancements, and digital transformation, making the technology sector one of the most dynamic areas for both PE and VC investment.
