Why Tokyo
With a population of 13.51 million people, Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is a world-leading megalopolis. Its gross metropolitan product is valued at USD 930 billion (FY 2014), an amount rivaling the GDP of the Netherlands.
Tokyo has 2,964 major companies with a capital of 1 billion yen or more. This figure is about half of the total number of such companies in Japan. An international business centre, Tokyo is also home to 77 percent of the foreign-affiliated companies in Japan, with over 2,400. Tokyo also ranks top class in the world in number of Fortune Global 500 company headquarters. Such a large accumulation of companies serves as a magnet attracting even more companies to Tokyo, driving the city’s economy.
