Financial City New York: Tokyo Meets New York: Capital, Innovation, and the Next Era of Global Finance

Date October 15, 2026
Location New York City

A New York forum for Tokyo's next phase as a global financial city

Tokyo is entering a new phase of financial market development. Asset ownership reform, corporate governance progress, emerging manager support, cross-border capital formation, and rapid advances in AI are reshaping the way global investors assess Japan. FGF New York 2026 brings these themes to the centre of global finance.

The forum is designed to connect Tokyo's public-private financial ecosystem with senior decision-makers in New York, creating a platform for direct dialogue, investment consideration, and long-term relationship-building.

01

Global Financial City

Tokyo's positioning as a resilient, trusted, and globally connected financial centre — its reforms, its ambitions, and the strategic bridge to New York's capital markets.

02

Artificial Intelligence

The investment, infrastructure, and governance questions behind frontier AI — compute, semiconductors, energy, data infrastructure, and whether trusted non-US/non-China ecosystems can shape a balanced AI future.

03

Family Offices

How family offices and long-horizon private capital are reshaping global allocation patterns — legacy, culture, sustainable investment, direct investing, and why Japan may matter more to the next generation.
