The Japanese government has played a significant role in fostering the venture capital ecosystem in Tokyo. Reforms such as the Corporate Governance Code and Stewardship Code have improved transparency, encouraging more VC investment. The J-Startup initiative, in particular, has identified high-potential startups and provided them with the resources needed to scale globally. The Japan Venture Capital Association (JVCA) also supports the industry through advocacy and educational resources. Moreover, Tokyo’s local government offers a range of financial incentives, including grants and tax breaks, to encourage startups and attract venture capital. These government-led initiatives have helped make Tokyo an increasingly competitive and attractive environment for venture capital investment. As Japan continues to globalize its economy, these efforts are expected to drive further growth in the venture capital sector, offering investors exciting opportunities to tap into innovative startups across multiple industries.
