Community and Business

The BCCJ is delighted to announce our latest partnership with Tokyo Innovation Base (TIB) - marking the BCCJ as the first international Chamber to become an official partner.

 

What is TIB?

 

Tokyo Innovation Base is a government-backed hub in Tokyo designed to help entrepreneurs and startups succeed. It acts as a central meeting point for investors, companies, and innovators to connect, collaborate, and grow their businesses in the city.

In TIB's own words:
'Tokyo Innovation Base aims to be a global node of innovation. It is a place where diverse individuals connect and support innovators who will advance society with their groundbreaking ideas and technologies. Tokyo Innovation Base aspires to be the world’s most startup-friendly location, initiating a new wave of innovation.'

 

How will this enhance your membership experience?

 

Through this partnership, the BCCJ will strengthen its support for our members seeking to grow in Japan and engage with the country’s dynamic innovation ecosystem. TIB provides a practical bridge between international business networks and Japan’s startup and investment community.

 BCCJ Members can expect to get access to:

  1. Japanese corporates, investors, and innovation hubs
  2. Government-backed innovation initiatives in Tokyo
  3. Cross-border collaboration and co-creation opportunities
  4. BCCJ events hosted within TIB's dedicated event space
