GCV Asia 2023 | Cvent | 5 November 2023 | InterContinental - ANA Tokyo, an IHG Hotel, 1 Chome-12-33 Akasaka, Minato City, Tokyo 107-0052, Japan

This events brings an international delegation of corporate venturers to Japan to discover the CVC scene in the country, and to make local connections to help with deal flow and portfolio company development.

Technologies related to smart cities, where Japan is at the vanguard, will be of special interest, from energy and mobility to health and connectivity.

While inevitably there will be a strong focus on Japan, we will also have representatives from other areas in the APAC region that are thriving.

Delegation highlights include:

• A one-day conference
• Visits to local corporates and accelerators
• Exclusive networking events and dinners

Connect with the Japan ecosystem to:

• Source local deal flow – meet VCs, CVCs and startups
• Meet those able to offer support – government, universities, other corporates
• Learn about new technologies where Japan takes the lead, including smart cities
