Webinar 173: Japan Private Equity and Venture Capital Landscape: Opportunities for EU SMEs and Start-ups

What business opportunities does the Japanese venture capital and private equity market offer to EU startups, entrepreneurs, and SMEs?

Japan’s entrepreneurial finance market is unique, with substantial room to grow. While Japan’s macroeconomy and financial market both occupy third-place positions in the world, Japan’s venture capital markets, SME lending markets, and crowdfunding markets are comparable to those of an EU market, in size and makeup, but with substantial business-cycle stability.

The webinar is targeted at EU entrepreneurs, startups, and SMEs seeking to access or strengthen their current positions in Japan’s entrepreneurial finance market.
