Accelerating Content Globalization! "Into Global: FY2026 Tokyo Content Industry Overseas Expansion Program" Launches New "Focus Consultation Sessions"!

The overseas market for Japan's content industry has expanded to 6 trillion yen due to the global success of anime and games. With the government aiming for 20 trillion yen in overseas sales by 2033, attention is refocusing on its growth potential. Content is now positioned as a "strategic export industry" alongside steel and semiconductors, with enhanced support measures. Tokyo's "Into Global" program provides knowledge for SMEs and content businesses in Tokyo to enter global markets through consultation services and symposiums.

At the consultation desk, experienced concierges and experts identify challenges from a long-term strategic perspective and navigate scenarios for resolution. The service is free for SMEs and sole proprietors with a head office or branch in Tokyo.

Starting this year, the "Overseas Expansion Focus Consultation Sessions" will provide practical advice on specific genres or regions. The first session, "Game Overseas Expansion '1-on-1' Strategy Consultation," will be held on July 6, 2026. Participation is free, with applications open until July 1.

Additionally, the symposium will feature discussions on legal and accounting schemes for international co-productions and strategic perspectives from producers. Latest updates are available on the official website and Note.
