Tokyo to Accept Applications for “Certified Office Operators” for the “Project for Temporary Office Allocation for Foreign Financial Companies and Human Resources”

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG), as part of our policy to make Tokyo into the world’s top global financial city, has set out to attract foreign financial companies with the “Global Financial City: Tokyo” vision formulated in November 2017.
In light of recent international situations, we are developing measures to attract foreign financial companies and human resources, mainly in Asia. To achieve this, we are implementing the “Project for Temporary Office Allocation for Financial Foreign Companies and Human Resources” which aims to support foreign financial companies and human resources skilled in finance mainly in Asia to establish their operations in Tokyo by providing office space during their temporary stay in Tokyo to conduct preliminary surveys as a prerequisite for moving to Tokyo.
Ahead of starting the project, TMG is recruiting office operators who can cooperate with this initiative and provide office space for foreign financial companies and human resources (hereinafter referred to as “certified office operators”). Please see below for details.
