Information
The City of Yokohama, with its outstanding history of urban development, has established an extensive network with Asian cities and organizations. It carries out energetic independent local government diplomacy with the slogan ‘Yokohama, growing together with the world’, and promotes many international cooperation projects.
One is the Y-PORT Initiative, launched in 2011, a public-private partnership to share Yokohama’s expertise, cutting edge technology and know-how. It helps cities in emerging economies to solve urban issues and encourages Yokohama enterprises to operate abroad.
The program focuses on activities of the City and associated enterprises with Y-PORT and the 5th Asia Smart City Conference held in Yokohama in November 2016 and the Da Nang Urban Development Forum held in Vietnam in December 2016 in background. Through interviews with city representatives and businesspeople, as well as officials from other Asian cities, it considers new paths for international cooperation.
