Japan venture capital: Hello world
The ambition coursing through Japanese venture capital is captured in the government’s start-up development plan. A 10x increase in investment is targeted for the five years through 2027, which will enable the creation of 100,000 start-ups and 100 unicorns. It is an increasingly international story as well, with incentives offered to overseas VCs that invest alongside local peers and Japanese start-ups moving quickly to establish global footprints. Investors foreign and domestic map out the future.
- Do start-ups need additional support, and if so, what form should it take?
- Incentives aside, what makes global VCs want to invest in Japan?
- Which segments of Japan’s technology sector are most suited to global expansion?
- What are the most likely exit routes for investors?
