Announcing the Tokyo-London Financial Seminar 2025

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) and the City of London Corporation are pleased to announce they are co-hosting the “Tokyo-London Financial Seminar 2025”.

Following the signing December 2017 of the Memorandum of Understanding Between The City of London Corporation and Tokyo Metropolitan Government, both cities are working together to grow as international financial centers. They are also promoting high-level discussions and co-hosting events. This seminar is part of these collaborative efforts.

It will also offer a networking opportunity for financial professionals and investors, promoting the growth of both cities as international financial centers through collaboration and idea exchange.
