Japan has emerged as a new hotspot for private equity, driven by geopolitical risks and less attractive return prospects in other markets. In contrast, favorable monetary policies, government initiatives, market and regulatory reforms, and access to debt have created an ideal environment for dealmakers. However, to ensure long-term success, the industry must take critical final steps.

The AVCJ Private Equity Forum Japan, the world’s leading Japan-focused private markets event, brings together the most influential institutional investors. This forum, developed over two decades, offers unparalleled access to the most compelling industry gathering of 2024 for investment and fundraising perspectives.
