Our Approach

Investing in relationship

Relationships take time to build. We design our programs to give executives space for real conversation, so the connections they make continue long after an event ends.

Four people are engaged in conversation outdoors, with two men in the foreground talking to each other, one wearing a blue jacket and glasses, the other a black suit. Another man, also in glasses and a black jacket, stands nearby smiling and listening.

Our History

Ten years of U.S.-Japan connections

SVJP was founded in 2016 to build closer ties between Japanese companies and Silicon Valley. The idea came from a group of Japanese business leaders who visited Silicon Valley and saw the value of exchanging views with its executives.
