FinCity.Tokyo, an organization dedicated to promoting Tokyo as a global financial hub, is ready to open doors to economic opportunities for Thai investors and financial businesses. These opportunities include diversifying investments into the Japanese market, forming partnerships to develop products and services, and jointly expanding into ASEAN markets. The initiative aims to foster collaboration between Thailand and Japan by linking capital, expertise, and innovation from both nations.

Mr. Tokio Morita, Executive Director of FinCity.Tokyo, stated, "Thailand is well-positioned to become a key area for developing next-generation financial infrastructure in ASEAN. Partnering with a market like Japan will accelerate innovation and enable the creation of new solutions that truly meet the needs of the business sector, investors, and consumers."

These collaborations will grant Thai businesses access to technology, knowledge from international experts, and investment networks. They will also enhance product development capabilities and open business opportunities within one of Asia's most stable financial markets.

FinCity.Tokyo was established in 2019 through a public-private partnership in Japan with the goal of elevating Tokyo to a leading global financial hub. Currently, it comprises over 50 member organizations—including top-tier financial institutions and institutional investors—and serves to connect foreign companies with Tokyo's financial market. Its services range from providing market information and business advice to facilitating access to support programs offered by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. One key initiative is the "Attraction U Program," which supports foreign fund management companies and fintech businesses with business establishment, partnership matching, and grants of up to 30 million yen, subject to specific eligibility criteria. Additionally, the "Emerging Managers Program" connects up-and-coming Japanese fund managers with domestic and international asset owners through seminars and business matching events.

These opportunities are underpinned by a massive capital base; Japanese households hold approximately US$15 trillion in financial assets, while the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) boasts a market capitalization of around US$7.1 trillion. Furthermore, as a hub for financial institutions, global corporations, and technology firms, Tokyo offers entrepreneurs the chance to expand their businesses across sectors such as asset management, fintech, sustainable finance, and digital infrastructure.

FinCity.Tokyo is committed to fostering partnerships with Thai financial institutions, investors, and fintech companies through knowledge exchange and business matching. By linking Thailand’s potential with Japan’s capital, expertise, and innovation, the initiative aims to strengthen capabilities and unlock growth opportunities in the global market.
