Industry in Tokyo

Tokyo offers investors abundant business possibilities and opportunities to interact with customers and business partners. The high concentration of talented personnel, universities, research organizations, and SMEs with excellent technological capabilities propels the Japanese industry.

1. Business opportunities

Tokyo hosts the widest variety and largest number of trade fairs among Asian cities and as a result, is in a position to provide abundant business opportunities.

The annual Tokyo Industry Fair offers SMEs a chance to exhibit their advanced technologies in the four main areas in which high growth is expected–information, environment, medical care and welfare, and machinery and metals–and to talk with customers and business partners.

2. Abundant personnel

Tokyo has a high concentration of universities and other institutions for higher education, which is an advantage when hiring and acquiring talented personnel. Along with technicians and scientists, there are a high number of lawyers, patent attorneys, certified public accountants, and other professionals who provide support services to companies.

3. Corporate support from research organizations

Many universities, national and local government bodies, and private sector R&D organizations in Tokyo, engage in advanced research and development efforts. Industry-academia-government collaboration projects greatly contribute to industrial growth in the city.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Technology Research Institute, which was established by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, provides support for the development of basic and advanced technologies.
