Japan’s private capital ecosystem is entering a new phase of growth and transformation. Following the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s revised listing requirements, venture-backed companies and fund managers are increasingly rethinking traditional IPO-driven exit strategies and exploring alternative pathways such as M&A and secondary transactions.
Against this backdrop, this event brings together private equity and venture capital leaders, fund operators, finance professionals, and international investors to discuss how the market is evolving and what it means for the future of venture investing in Japan.
The event will explore the shifting dynamics of liquidity, valuation, fund operations, and cross-border opportunities, while offering practical insights into how GPs, fund controllers, and ecosystem stakeholders can adapt to a changing investment environment. Through two focused panel discussions, attendees will gain perspectives from industry leaders on the future of exits, operational challenges, and the growing role of international capital in Japan’s innovation economy.
