Under Japan’s “GX2040 Vision,” the Japanese government is advancing its Green Transformation (GX) strategy to achieve decarbonization, economic growth, and energy security in unison. As GX policies expand across industries, regions, and finance, Japan faces both the challenge and opportunity of building global competitiveness through green innovation.

Designated as a GX Finance and Asset Management Special Zone, Sapporo is fostering collaboration across public, private, academic, and financial sectors to become an international hub for GX finance — from startup support and tax incentives to the launch of a ¥10 billion GX investment fund.

The NIKKEI Forum Global GX/Finance Conference Sapporo brings together global experts to discuss renewable energy, green finance, and Japan’s path toward a sustainable and competitive future.
