Investor Relations & Capital Introduction in Yokohama

Yokohama is Japan's second-largest city and a major port and corporate centre next to Tokyo. For founders and investors in automotive, logistics, life sciences and technology, it offers global corporate headquarters and direct access to the Tokyo investor community.

Why Yokohama Matters for Capital Raising

Yokohama's port opened to foreign trade in 1859 and remains one of Japan's most important, and the city has a long history as a gateway for international business.

Nissan moved its global headquarters to Yokohama in 2009, and the Minato Mirai district hosts research centres and offices for many major companies.

Yokohama National University and Yokohama City University support research in engineering and life sciences, and the city has growing startup support programmes.
