Facilitate Innovation/VC Ecosystem
Azabudai Hills is the home for Tokyo Venture Capital Hub (TVCH), the first large-scale venture capital hub in Japan. TVCH is designed to foster homegrown start-ups, exchange business ideas between VCs, and entrepreneurs, and create an ecosystem that revitalizes Japan’s innovation economy.
Located on the 4th and 5th floors of Garden Plaza B, TVCH offers best-in-kind office space and a co-working area that facilitate investment pitches, seminars, workshops, and networking events. TVCH will host some 70 corporate VCs and top independent VCs including Drone Fund, Incubate Fund, Spiral Capital, as well as Japan Venture Capital Association and University of Tokyo Edge Capital Partners (UTEC).
In addition, start-ups, VCs, and corporations at TVCH are encouraged to team up with collaborators at other innovation incubators, such as ARCH and CIC Tokyo, and Japan Innovation Campus in Silicon Valley, that are located within other Mori properties in Japan and overseas.
Leader in Sustainability
Azabudai Hills is a leader in promoting citywide efforts to decarbonize and recycle resources. From the time construction is completed, 100% of the electricity supplied to the complex will come from renewable sources, meeting the targets set by the Renewable Energy 100% (RE100) international environmental initiative led by the UK’s Climate Group. AI technology will be deployed in the energy center to optimize the management of this large complex’s mixed-use energy consumption.
In addition, Azabudai Hills will deploy measures across the complex to reduce environmental impact including usage of alternative energy, reusing stormwater for watering the greenery and horizontal plastic recycling.
Azabudai Hills is on track to receive several prestigious environmental distinctions, including the highest-level LEED Neighborhood Development certification for mixed-use developments, LEED’s BD+C (Building Design/Core and Shell Development) certification as well as WELL certification.
