TOKYO, July 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Tokyo
Metropolitan Government (TMG) will hold the "Invest Tokyo Seminar
2015 in London" on July 14 at Ambassadors Bloomsbury Hotel,
London, for foreign companies
interested in advancing into Japan. This seminar will provide the UK
companies with an opportunity to learn about the allure of
Tokyo as an investment
destination, as well as various incentives and support for foreign
companies provided by the TMG and the national government. There
will be special sessions on the FinTech and healthcare
industries.
The TMG is advancing efforts to attract foreign companies and
develop a more business-friendly environment by attracting talent,
information and investment from around the world to Tokyo using the special economic zone systems
of the national government. More than 40 foreign companies have
decided to set up business in Tokyo by receiving TMG support.
Foreign companies newly establishing their regional headquarters
or R&D centers in the special economic zone will be eligible to
receive incentives and support such as free management consulting
services, a subsidy program, preferential tax treatment and
introduction of office space at reduced rates.
The TMG can also provide meticulous support for foreign
companies in their activities from business establishment to
business expansion. This includes the Tokyo One-Stop Business
Establishment Center, which provides centralized support for
procedures related to company incorporation, the Business
Development Center Tokyo, and the Tokyo Employment Consultation
Center.
Tokyo is transforming into an
even more attractive city. New high-performance office buildings
with excellent earthquake resistance and emergency power systems
are opening one after another. The TMG is promoting the development
of a healthcare and education environment for foreign residents,
and installing multi-lingual signage on the streets and
transportation facilities to turn Tokyo into a city where foreign company
employees and their families can live in comfort.
Many business opportunities exist in Tokyo as it evolves in preparation for the
2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The time is right to advance
into Tokyo.
