Tokyo Metropolitan Government selected the Foreign Companies which participate in the Accelerator Program “Tech Business Camp Tokyo”
In order to boost Tokyo’s international competitiveness and create further growth, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) has continued to proactively introduce initiatives to attract foreign companies possessing cutting-edge technologies related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, including artificial intelligence (AI), VR/AR, robotics and IoT, etc., and to promote transfers of ground-breaking foreign technologies and know-how to Japanese companies.
