From Japan straight out to the world: the web site for news and information

 

Following the signing December 2017 of the Memorandum of Understanding Between The City of London Corporation and Tokyo Metropolitan Government, both cities are working together to grow as international financial centers. They are also promoting high-level discussions and co-hosting events. This seminar is part of these collaborative efforts.

 

The upcoming 9th seminar will focus on fintech and AI applications as well as asset management to increase financial services trade between Japanese and UK firms, highlighting new opportunities for collaboration in these sectors. The event will highlight the strengths of the Japanese market as seen by UK business owners, providing insights for UK financial firms looking to expand into Tokyo. It will also offer a networking opportunity for financial professionals and investors, promoting the growth of both cities as international financial centers through collaboration and idea exchange.

 

“The upcoming 9th Tokyo-London Financial Seminar represents the enduring strength of the UK-Japan relationship. The UK is Japan’s second largest trading partner in Europe while Japan is the UK’s second largest non-EU investor, investing over £86bn.

More than 65 Japanese financial companies have a substantial presence in London and this seminar aims to boost UK-Japan financial services trade further in fintech, AI and asset management. By working together, the UK and Japan can use the best of its expertise and innovation in financial services to unlock the huge opportunities offered by fintech, asset management and the green transition, and support a more sustainable global economy.”
