Summary: | This report analyzes the start-up
ecosystem in Tokyo and the greater surrounding area in Japan
in the transition of the innovation model to a hybrid of
traditional public sector-university-corporation research
and development (R and D) combined with start-up agile
innovation. It first introduces the role of a start-up
ecosystem in contributing to the development of global
cities, and thus to the wider national economy. It then
takes a country-level view of Japan’s innovation system,
within which the metropolitan region operates, in the
transition to the innovation-start-up ecosystem. This
description is followed by an analysis of the specifics of
the Tokyo start-up ecosystem - which consists of investment,
support infrastructure, and skills infrastructure - factors
that merit close inspection and deep analytics. And finally,
the report ends with conclusions - what can be done better
or differently to exploit opportunities within Tokyo - but
also wider lessons for other global cities. |
