The Tokyo Metropolitan Government, in partnership with the City of London, announces the Tokyo-London Financial Seminar 2024, aimed at facilitating the entry of London’s overseas asset managers into the Tokyo market. Scheduled for January 31, 2024, this seminar marks the eighth installment in a series of collaborative events since the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding in December 2017. The focus will be on the asset management sector, a critical component in Tokyo’s vision of becoming a leading global financial city through sustainable growth and innovation. Attendees can expect insights from key figures, including Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike and Lord Mayor Professor Michael Mainelli, who will discuss current market trends and introduce support measures for UK and overseas asset managers. The seminar will take place at Stationers' Hall in London and will conclude with a networking reception to foster connections among participants.

Interested individuals can register for either in-person attendance or online viewing, but prior registration is mandatory due to limited space. This event underscores the ongoing collaboration between Tokyo and London as they strive to enhance their positions as international financial centers. The seminar is part of broader efforts to promote financial education and green finance initiatives between the two cities.
