Tokyo Sets Stage for Global IP Dealmaking at Adaptation & Remake Market
The global landscape of entertainment and media is about to receive a major infusion of Japanese creativity. In October, Tokyo will host the second edition of the Tokyo IP Market: Adaptation & Remake, an event poised to connect some of the world’s most sought-after intellectual properties with international buyers.
This specialized platform, known as TIPM, will serve as a crucial nexus for adaptation and remake deals. Eight of Japan’s leading publishers, studios, and production companies are set to pitch their unique IP portfolio to an international audience, marking a significant opportunity for cross-border collaboration and creative licensing.
The event is scheduled to run from October 28 to 30, 2026, and will be held in Tokyo as part of the larger TIFFCOM 2026 exhibition.
TIPM is designed to facilitate tangible business outcomes, moving beyond simple presentations. The platform will host a dynamic mix of one-on-one business meetings alongside open pitching sessions, allowing international investors and developers to engage directly with the creators behind the content.
The entire exchange will take place at the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center, creating a central hub for industry professionals seeking fresh, compelling narratives for global consumption. This gathering underscores Japan’s continued role as a powerhouse in storytelling and adaptation.
