Context of Events

Tokyo Tatemono is engaging in efforts to attract a diverse range of companies and human resources to the Yaesu-Nihonbashi-Kyobashi (YNK) area in front of Tokyo Station, including through participation in several large-scale joint redevelopment projects. One of these, the “Type 1 Urban Redevelopment Project for the Yaesu 1-chome North Area” (hereinafter “Gofukubashi Project”), in which Tokyo Tatemono is participating as a member of an urban redevelopment association, is taking place along Eitai-dori Avenue, which connects the Otemachi and Kabutocho districts where key financial players are concentrated, leading it to be known as a financial corridor. This area has been designated as a national strategic special zone intended to enhance international competitiveness through measures such as the development of facilities to support highly skilled financial professionals and a continuous waterfront space along the Nihonbashi River.
On the back of its plans to develop a facility to support highly skilled financial professionals under the aforementioned Gofukubashi Project, as well as its signing of a collaboration agreement with the fintech ecosystem builder Elevandi Japan, Ltd. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Takeshi Kito; hereinafter “Elevandi Japan”), in October 2023 in order to contribute to the building of a fintech community in the global financial city of Tokyo, Tokyo Tatemono will utilize Japan Fintech Week 2024 as a chance to hold side events and thereby contribute to the stimulation of Tokyo’s fintech ecosystem, along with further igniting Japan Fintech Week 2024.
