Get ready to discover Japan’s innovation ecosystem!

The GCV Asia: International Delegation is back, giving you insider access to Japan’s leading CVCs and VCs through highly curated investor meetups and corporate site visits, culminating in our flagship GCV Asia: Congress (November 12, 2025).

The Japanese ecosystem is renowned for its cutting-edge advancements in deeptech, university spinouts, mobility, biotech and sustainability. With a unique blend of world-class R&D, strong corporate-startup collaboration and a growing CVC industry, the country offers unparalleled opportunities for global investors and innovators alike.

This year, we will also bring you unforgettable cultural experiences and networking activities you won’t want to miss.

Like 2024, our GCV Asia programme will be part of the Japan Innovation Week, and you’ll have a chance to join other tech events on Thursday and Friday.

We’re still finalising this year’s programme, but check out the early agenda below (subject to change).
