“Global Base City” is one of the world’s largest startup ecosystem.

Yokohama City has been selected as a "Global Base City" as a member of the Tokyo Consortium of Startup Ecosystem Tokyo Consortium, in collaboration with Tokyo Metropolitan Government, local governments, companies and organizations.
