Japan has been at the forefront of technology for more than 50 years, with iconic products such as the Sony Walkman and the Nintendo Switch becoming integral parts of the cultural fabric of the Western world. It now wants to attract the world’s smartest minds to come and collaborate with local, like-minded tech entrepreneurs; this is where the Tokyo Innovation Base (TIB) comes into play.
Launched last November, this is the official platform, backed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, where any foreign startup and solopreneurs wanting to operate in the land of the rising sun can find advice and support, from business to daily life and beyond. TIB is a place where major companies, investors, universities, and government agencies from all over Tokyo gather, allowing you to meet various key people for doing business in Japan.
