The Japan IP Market will convene in Cannes for a second consecutive year in May 2027. This initiative is a renewed collaboration between the Cannes Film Market and TIFFCOM, the content market of the Tokyo International Film Festival. The event aims to enhance the global reach of Japanese intellectual properties.
First launched in May 2026 as part of Japan's Country of Honor status at the Cannes Film Market, the event offers pitches, one-on-one meetings, and industry discussions. Companies like Kadokawa, Shochiku, and Toei Company have participated, seeking to forge international partnerships.
Organizers emphasize that the market creates crucial conditions for business opportunities between Japanese rights holders and international companies. This continued partnership, linking Cannes in May with the Tokyo IP Market in October, provides professionals direct access to Japanese rights holders and their diverse content.
