Keynote: Japan's Private Capital Moment - Follow the Money | 基調講演：日本のプライベートキャピタル市場の現在地──資金の流れを読む
About this session
Japan's private capital markets are undergoing a notable inflection, reaching a definitive ‘moment’ as PE deal activity remained robust and M&A transactions hit a historic record in 2024. With global investors circling Japanese technology assets with unprecedented intensity, the traditional financing landscape is being progressively reshaped. This keynote unpacks the critical data behind these capital flows, identifying the structural drivers of Japan's resilience and what this improvement in liquidity means for the next generation of entrepreneurs and the investors backing them. Attendees will gain a strategic roadmap for navigating fundraising, cap tables and exits in the evolving 2026 landscape, bridging the gap between Japan's revitalized domestic policy and the global appetite for high-conviction tech investments.

本セッションでは、資金の動きを示す重要なデータを分析し、日本市場の強さを支える構造的な原動力を明らかにします。あわせて、流動性の向上が次世代の起業家とそれを支える投資家にとって何を意味するのかを探ります。
2026年に向けて変化する環境のなかで、資金調達、キャップテーブル、エグジットをどのように戦略的に設計すべきなのか。本セッションは、政策改革が進む日本と世界的なテック投資需要をつなぐ、戦略的なロードマップを提示します。
