Japanese CVC Showcase

🌟 Join us for the Japanese CVC Showcase! 🌟
The CVC Club, in collaboration with Rakuten Capital, invites you to an exciting event in London that highlights Japanese corporate innovation.

This gathering aims to identify and showcase every Japanese corporation with a CVC or innovation agenda in the UK or Europe. Our mission is to create a comprehensive directory mapping each Japanese corporate's European presence, detailing where their CVC or innovation arm is based, who leads the team, what they invest in, and how to connect with them.

• Government bodies and family offices
• Select European investors and founders
