“Invest Tokyo Seminar in Hong Kong “, co-organized by Tokyo Metropolitan Government & Jetro Hong Kong , supported by Consulate General of Japan In HK , was held on 28 Aug 2019 in HK.
Dr Serina Ha had make an interview with Mr Masafumi Yonazu ; Senior Director for Special Zone Promotion Office for Strategic Policy and ICT promotion of Tokyo Metropolitan Government on suggestions on nature of business ; collaboration opportunities with local companies ; coordination and offer hands-on supports for business-matching with local companies .。
Here are the summary of the interview:
1) Suggestions on nature of business
1. High-quality manufacturing and services
-Consumers in Japan demand very high-quality goods and services so it means that once you succeed in Japan, you will be able to get high-reputation in global market.
2. Japanese manufacturers are strongly proud of their works.
3. Diverse culture and comfortable living environment
-The word “bleisure” is the combining of business travel with leisure time. The Economist Intelligence Unit, in an Asia Pacific survey, ranked Tokyo as the number one bleisure destination in Asia-Pacific Region
2) Collaboration opportunities with local companies
Most of local companies in Tokyo are small and medium enterprises. And manufacturing or tele-communication companies with cutting-edge technologies are concentrated in Tokyo, so we think that such companies and foreign companies can collaborate, create innovation and generate new-values together.
Considering this, we’re now implementing 2 initiatives now.
For foreign companies which are invited by TMG, we assigned special coordinator and offer hands-on supports for business-matching with local companies (e.g. making PR sheet to appeal strongpoints of foreign companies and needs from them, supporting in language when foreign companies do business-matching)
In order to succeed in sustainable business development, we need to connect talents, goods, funds and information in Tokyo. By connecting them, we believe that we can continue to generate innovations. Under this understanding, Tokyo Metropolitan Government has started to support creating ecosystems in Tokyo. Specifically, we certificated 3 local communities trying to create ecosystems. First, we assign and send “community managers”, who connect players in governmental, academic and industrial players in each ecosystems. Second, we support communities to implement projects which several players collaborate from the fields of deregulation, etc. Third, Tokyo Metropolitan Government will actively promote these initiatives in each ecosystems through website, etc.
Through these activities, we will established business-friendly environment which can attract more and more startups and entrepreneurs from all over the world.
