Money East to West – Mapping Capital Flows Between Asia and Japan | 東から西へ──アジアと日本を横断する資本の潮流

Founders DayMain Stage, Bellesalle B2Open
About this session

Capital movement between Japan and the rest of Asia is entering a transformative era, shifting from infrastructure financing toward technology-driven financial integration and direct startup investment. As regional markets digitize, new mechanisms are emerging to enhance the speed, transparency, and efficiency of cross-border value transfer. This dialogue explores how advancements in digital payment networks, financial infrastructure, and capital market innovation are enabling a more agile flow of funds across Asia and Japan. For founders, this session reveals how to position your company to attract institutional capital and leverage regional liquidity. For investors, it provides a roadmap for deploying capital more seamlessly across borders. The discussion examines the convergence of policy frameworks, liquidity management tools, and regional partnerships that make large-scale capital deployment more strategically aligned with sustainable growth and founder success.

日本とアジア各国の間を行き交う資本の流れは、いま大きな転換期を迎えています。従来のインフラを中心とした投資から、テクノロジー主導の金融統合やスタートアップへの直接投資へと重心が移りつつあるのです。地域経済のデジタル化が進むなか、越境での資金移転の速さや透明性、効率を高める新たな仕組みも生まれています。
