Strategy Dialogue · 13:00–14:00

Bringing Europe to Tokyo

What earns a European venture fund the attention of a Japanese corporate’s team in Europe, and what helps that team win support at head office?

When: Thursday 24 September 2026, 13:00–14:00
Where: Metzger Stubn tent, Oktoberfest, Munich
Who is at the table: Japanese corporates & VCs

Speakers

Chaired by

For the innovation, business development and venture teams of Japanese corporates in Europe, and the funds that work with them. What head office actually values from a European fund, how a relationship travels from Munich to Tokyo, and which partnerships have lasted.

How it works

One question per table. A guest at the table leads it, without slides.

Chatham House rule. Nothing is written up or shared afterwards, and the music stays off for the hour.

By invitation. Most guests are LPs, with a few VCs and founders.
