# Anthropic officially opens Tokyo office, signs Memorandum of Cooperation with the Japan AI Safety Institute

# Claim

This week, we opened our first Asia-Pacific office in Tokyo, a milestone in Anthropic's international expansion. Our CEO and co-founder Dario Amodei traveled to Tokyo to meet with Prime Minister Takaichi, address members of the LDP Digitization Headquarters Committee, meet customers and sign a Memorandum of Cooperation with the Japan AI Safety Institute.

# Relevance

Appendix III, section two: vendor threshold and platform capability evidence

# Oracle Verdict

This is a low-signal vendor radar item. Keep it as context only unless a later benchmark, deployment, procurement change, or labour-market datapoint turns it into direct Appendix III evidence.
