FinCity.Tokyo Global Forum in NEW YORK CITY 2026
1 概要
The Tokyo market is now entering a new phase in the development of international financial markets. Reforms aimed at realizing a “nation based on asset management,” the evolution of corporate governance, the flow of capital by global investors, cross-border capital formation, and rapid advances in AI technology—these factors are significantly changing the way global investors view Japan.
The “FinCity.Tokyo Global Forum in NEW YORK CITY 2026” will thoroughly discuss these trends in New York, the global financial hub.
This forum serves as a venue to connect Tokyo’s “financial ecosystem” with New York-based executives. It provides a platform for direct dialogue, the creation of new investment opportunities, and the establishment of long-term, robust relationships.
