Seminar Overview

On April 21st, 2026, JPI (Japan Planning Institute) invites you to an insightful seminar detailing the investment structures and legal practices surrounding data centers. Led by Tetsu Hasimoto, a partner at Mori Hamada & Matsumoto law firm, this event will provide invaluable expertise to effectively navigate the complexities of this burgeoning field.

Why Data Centers Matter

Data centers have increasingly become focal points for investment as they represent a significant opportunity within the tech landscape. 2025 saw a surge of development and investment projects targeting these facilities. However, prospective investors must recognize the unique characteristics and challenges associated with data centers, especially given that many transactions are spearheaded by foreign operators.

Understanding international contract practices is essential when engaging with these foreign entities. Furthermore, the type of data center—be it campus-style or container-type—will influence the structure and considerations of each project.

Key Seminar Highlights

The seminar will delve deep into various aspects, offering a comprehensive view on:
1. Data Center Overview: Understanding the structure and types of facilities.
2. Legal Regulations: Navigating telecommunications laws and foreign exchange laws.
3. Investment Structures: Analyzing how different types of investments interact within this space.
4. Due Diligence and Contractual Practices: Examining key relevant contracts and their specifics.
5. Debt Financing: Differentiating aspects of debt finance compared to other asset classes.
6. Q&A Session: Engaging in direct consultations with the instructor.
7. Networking: Building connections with peers and industry professionals.

This is a unique opportunity to interact directly with Tetsu Hasimoto, a highly knowledgeable figure in the field, allowing participants to ask questions and gain insights that could prove essential in their future ventures.
